    it has all cleared up on its own for some strange reason!!! but signal strength and quality are usually about 81% if i remember right

    thanks

    could be just a signal prob mate judging by the pics, if it comes back, take note of the signal level, to low (50/60 or to high 85 and up) will cause bad interferance like pixels, popping sounds etc

    cheers for that didnt think to look at the time because the menus were trailing aswell which i thought that it wouldnt be signal related if the menu software was doing it too.

    thats the most cryptic question I have seen in a long while. How is someone supposed to answer it? What problems? what box? what country?

    cryptic? I was referring to the same box as this thread, pixel issues too but only on some sky movie channels. Premiere and Sky Screen 1 & 2 are ok its the others Sky Action, Sky Drama etc.

    Done factory default, makes no difference at all!

    sounds to me if its only certain channels could be a signal problem with that certain frequency!

    i had it with all channels

    your first post gave no information of any use to anyone, I take it yer in the UK as you have your sky chans, did you factory reset and scan again? Are you using a splitter? Have you checked your provider to see if there is an issue in your area?
