Picture on my Sky+ keeps freezing

    Had this as a problem for the past 6 weeks or so, and is effecting both live feed and recordings.

    Basically the picture keeps freezing. If I select menu and go back in, it's fine and the freezes again. According to the box, signal strength is 5 (highest level anyway) as is the quality.

    Anyone any ideas what the problem is? Driving me mad.

    Cheers

    It's static. Plug TV and Decoder out for about five minutes and then plug back in again and it should be alright.

    Do sky know it's static, they have replaced my inlaws box 4 times, they still have this issue.

    Is there a long term fix for this?

    I have the same problem. I'm fed up unplugging then replugging the Sky box to get rid of the issue. I have the box about 3 years and when I originally called Sky about it, they checked setting and did a reset ( I think) but noting sorted the issue.

    I had the same problem for a week or so , fixed itself could be what people suggested plug out and in again.
    Don't know if it was coincidence or it caused it but my magic eye stopped working. Bought new one same problem lights up in bedroom but can't change channel even when i plug it directly into the back of box.
