    Most channels are fine, but Sky Sports, Sky Sports News and a fair few music channels are comin' through very bad and skipping a lot and going off completely for a second or two.

    Any way to fix this? Is it to do with the frequencies of the channels? Anyway to change the frequency?

    Very odd that most channels are perfect quality but just a select few a terrible.

    I have the same problem with CH**US in Dublin. Are you on the same>

    I have tried all the usual things, but nothing seems to be working :( Going to try looking at replacing cables to see if that makes a difference

    I just tried the box in another room and it came through fine. Definitely a problem with my tv pipe cables. Been trying to fix it but cannot find where the problem comes from.

    sorry for the double post, not sure why that happened.

    Thing is we have the box pplugged into the main point that comes into the house, cant move it anywhere else as signal is split elsewhere?

    Did you ever get this issue sorted? I rang cho**s as the official box was doing it a little (very infrequent - once a month for a second) but they said there was some probelm in the area, she boosted the signal to my box, but its still the same??

    No. The problem with me is definitely the tv pipe wire that is coming into my bedroom. The channels that are affected work fine when I use the box in any other room.
