    Do you get Hallmark, Disney or even (FTV card) ITV ?

    If so check them.

    It may be your dish is slightly out of alignment.

    To isolate if problem is box or Dish/LNB/Cable swap your box onto a friendly neighbour's living room...


    A kink, sharp bend, bad connection or nip on the cable can in theory affect only one frequency. All Irish Radio / TV is on the same frequency. It is nearly the lowest frequency.

    I presume it is proper twin screen (braid and foil) coax with the fat air cored plastic inner insulation and not cheap TV (open braid no foil) or cable (has foil but skinny solid inner plastic) type coax?

    Hi

    Had similar problem with breakup on RTE/TG4/TV3 using a pace 2500 box but rectified the problem by firstly unplugging the digibox for one min, then reconnecting for one min without switching the digibox back on, to allow it reset.
    Now unplug again for one min,hold backup button down and plug in again to force a software download.
    Your viewing should now be restored on these
    channels.
    Peter.

    Thanks to everyone for their replies.

    I got it sorted out by playing around a bit with the cables/connections on the back of the box

    Thanks again
