Pixeling.

Hi.
Is anybody else out there getting pixels due to weather conditions or is my digi box on the blink again?

Could be the way your dish is set up. We had bad pixelation on a lot of channels (one of the satellite's footprints is a lot tighter than the others) that pixelated severely all the time. I went out and adjusted our dish, and hey presto, fixed. Pixelates once in a stormy blue moon now.

Thanks. D B B.
Its Just that my Digi Box is a recon and I have it about three months now. So I get nervous when I see pixellation, as this led to the demise of my original D Box.

I have a Panasonic DSB31 and there is one channel that gives me bother in bad weather. It's Discovery Home & Leisure +1.

Though I believe I'm not the only one to have problems with this channel on a Panny.

I had the same problem, thought it was dish but turned out to be the box

Pixelation is most likely going to be a Digibox problem rather than a dish alignment problem.
Apparently the tolerance is 4 bad packets an hour so if you notice pixelation on a regular basis then your box may be on the way out.

Thanks to all who replied.
I have not noticed the problem today.So heres hoping.
I was watching the West Ham v Everton match on sky sports one
when it occured. Maybe Sky sports one is on one of the weaker transponders.

Pixeling.
