Digibox losing channels ?

[shadytree]

Got a FVRT100 Digifusion Digital Video Recorder.
Over the last few days (before the really hot weather started) I've started losing channels on my digibox.
I've gone onto setup a few time and re-tuned the box, but he seems to then drop even more channels.

Any ideas what going on peeps?

Has the signal strength changed? Has it updated its firmware or something?

Suspect signal.
Had similar problem in Thorpe Bay last winter. They did a bench test & found nothing wrong. Re-installed it, did it a couple of more times and since been ok.
Oddly, only thought the other day it may start again with the hot weather but can't make a judgement as haven't been here much to use it.
Was advised to upgrade the aerial as Safend not the best digi signal in the country.
Otherwise get Sky +

HTH's

I had that problem. Then I realised the plum tree had put on a huge amount of growth and was right in front of the antenna

Atmospherics will be the main problem.

Heat, Humidity, Rain and plants can all have differing effects at different time of the year.

When Sky was very first launched for the Christmas period all the dishes went up and received with no problem at all. Come the spring lots had to be moved because the leaves had started to grow on trees etc, effecting receiption quality!
