I'm on my 4th sky decoder box from Sky and my viewing is still intermittent with the box eventually hanging or saying 'no satellite signal'.
On the last visit the engineer changed the LNB and when I tested the new LNB with the box he put in I was pressing the channel up button to check the channels. The engineer asked do I always change the channels like that and I said "No, I'm only doing it as the box you have put in doesn't have any favourites" and asked him why he was asking the question. The engineer then stated that the LNB can't keep up with the channels shifting so quickly and if this was done then the LNB would get damaged.
If this true? Surely if that was the case the firmware in the box would have something in to detect the channel change requests were coming in too fast and slow the requests down before they hit the LNB?
Well I can always ask the next engineer who is coming on Wednesday to check the disk and cables!
