    In the last month it seems that more break ups and other glitches are occurring. In fact I can say that before I have experienced very few or none.Could it be that the Foxsat+ is beginning to show its age, or rather weather-conditions. Admitted it has been windy from time to time, but I'm not convinced that all incidences have been other than in the relatively benign.

    Before I call someone out, would it be worthwhile identifying the channels most affected in case only they share polarity and voltage?

    Could be a number of reasons.

    Off hand

    1 Dish has moved

    2 Water is getting into your coax cables

    3 LNB is failing

    4 Trees have grown since dish installed and now obscuring line of sight from dish to 28.2E.

    Some signal strength and quality readings may help. List of channels by transponder here.

    I seem to be having the same problem, I have just come back after a fortnight out of the country
    I had recording set for one of the prog on BBC4 a week sat it broke up a little on the recording.
    But now I seem to be having a lot more break ups especially film 4
    tried another box same problem so I am thinking it is Dish.
    BUT tried box on a different dish same bungalow (I have 2 dishes)not by choice !!
    so I am a bit perplexed why happening now ???

    HDR1000s 500gb (since first came out)

    Does brighten the monochrome scenes though, with slabs of high technicolor interference where the picture should be.

    Try another hdmi cable and/or different port on the TV.
