    box has stopped working with not receiving signal message.
    have done a factory reset - signal was good, quality was good. internet connection was good. then when it comes out of reset - back to not receiving signal message. thought about doing a manual software update - downloaded the software unzipped on to stick, but instructions are to power up while holding down the channel down button. there is no channel down button - only a power button on the box - anyone got any ideas
    frustrated

    and just left it displaying system info for 10 minutes and signal is now ok

    my partner informs me that she has experienced this problem (signal too weak) with box also randomly recovering after a while for a few weeks

    the plot thickens

    it might be important to note - i have 3 cables coming from the satellite dish - 2 of them are connected to a HDR-1000S and 1 is connected to HB-1000S - it is only the HB-1000S that is having the problems

    also the fact that the problem seems to 'fix itself' after a matter of 10 minutes suggests a software problem rather than an actual weak signal through a cable fault ?

    I have an octal LNB, with two cables to the Humax, and a single cable to the living room, and another single to a satellite receiver in the bedroom.

    Up till a few days ago, everything was fine.

    I would remake the connections at both ends of the cable to ensure a good electrical circuit to the LNB.

    You could also try changing the connection to a spare port on the LNB.
