willg hi,

I'm getting the same problem on my Sky+ receiver and recordings and on my mirror sub digibox.....?!?

I've checked all connections and wiring, could there be a problem with the lnb, any ideas folks?

Most likely LNB but could be alignment and/or skew setting

Thx for reply Funky Phantom & Tony. Tony as you said I assumed the LNB was @ fault so I went out removed all the connections & I found one of them had got water into it with all the storms of late & had corroded the copper core causing it to break & stay withing the LNB ... after a bit of fiddling with a tweezers & needle to get it out I redid the offending connection & ensured this time NO water will get in. After that I fitted the other 2 connections back also & thankfully the problem seems to have gone away :-) Thing the faulty connection was causing some kind of short circuit or something along those line this causing sporadic picture drop out/break up.

great glad you found the problem
