SMW - Click on the Menu Button on the remote on the left hand pane scroll down to the system icon then on the right hand pane click on Diagnostics. Yuo should now see the signal strength and picture quality bars on the bottom of the page. These should (If the dish is peaked correctly and whether or not your cable connections to the receiver are connected correctly) show 90% signal srength and 100% Picture Quality. Check your cables first and that they haven't come slack at the receiver end. The most likel cause is moving or dusting around the receiver. If not then could be your dish has moved slighly. Try a system restore if you then can't get a complete re-instal it's most likely the dish has moved.

My Freeview box has suddenly dropped most channels - I now get 20 including BBC 1, 2, 3 ITV 4, Yesterday, Film 4 and a load of shopping channels. What can I do?

I get my signal from Crystal Palace and have read the posts concerning loss or poor reception over the last couple of weeks with interest. I have a loft aerial and live in NW London around 17 miles from the Tx. I have had NO problems at all with either SD or HD reception and my TV is on most of the afternoon and evening - this also includes all my recordings made on both SD and HD. I don't think CP is to blame here...
