If you swap the inputs on the rear of the box, does the signal strength issue swap between Inputs 1 & 2 (in Services > Settings > Health) ? If so, might be worth checking / remaking the F-type connections at each end of that cable.

If the connectors seem OK, try swapping to another LNB output (on the dish).

If the problem stays with the same input when you swap the connectors at the rear of the bos, then the box itself might be playing up.

If you do fix the signal problem but are still missing a few channels, it might be worth trying a rebuild or a reset (I believe that the latter will wipe your recorded programs, though).

ETA - I am not a Sky engineery type person.. wink
