    Hi all, over the last few days I have noticed some channels not coming through, bravo+1,dave,city channel,gold+1,satanta ireland,all disney channels,discovery turbo,bbc world,cnbc, maybe more, about 5 others are pixelating/freezing a lot.
    All missing channels show a signal quality of 65%~68%, pixelating channels show around 78%~80% & good channels 90%~92%, this is also happening elsewhere in the area,...any ideas ???

    it's a dreambox 500c, older models like mine with week tuners means you have to use an amplifier anyway, worked great for 2yrs until now, I did a few tests since earlier today, I get 90% signal quality with amp but getting 94% without !!!... but channels mentioned before still missing !
    eurovox ex-1000sl working fine on same connection, tuner in dreambox may need re-seating,..it's the push in type,..will try later.
