We have an old (about 10 years) sky sat dish connected to a new Bush freesat box. Reception was fine for a few weeks but then it started freezing and pixelating and finally we lost the signal on all channels. Thinking there was something wrong with the box we exchanged it but the problem remained. Oddly it is often fine for 10 or 15 minutes when we first switch it on and then we lose the signal again. We have renewed the connexion at the sat dish end as it was a bit corroded (copper wire) and at the box end as well. It seems unlikely to be the sat box. Do you think it likely to be the sat dish or the cable?
