[QUOTE="joddle, post: 890028, member: 247983"] Something very odd going on today - At 13:40 local time I started to lose the Freesat BBC1 HD picture (during Bargin Hunt) - It started with a ittle pixelation and sound breakup then got worse and worse over a few minutes and soon became unwatchable. I tried the BBC1 SD channels and most were the same although BBC1 South East was OK and did not break up at all. The odd thing was when I checked the SS and SQ - even when breaking up badly, I was getting 73% SS and 100% quality on my little Manhatten freesat box on all BBC1 SD channels and 75% SS and 100% SQ on the HD one - which are the normal everyday readings for most channels; and even when the SS goes down to below 70 in heavy rain I still get a decent stable picture. At one point I got a little message about the "initial bouquet missing" (may have misquoted that as I only saw it for a few seconds) - never seen that before Now 20 minutes later everything has returned to normal again but no diference in the SS and SQ readings. At first I though of an sun outage but on looking at the dish, the LNB shadow is nowhere near the centre and anyway its not that time of year. The skies are almost clear - no obstructions and no zeppelins or large birds flying about either - so a complete mystery. [/QUOTE]
