When I got home I used the reciever for a few hours, enjoyed how it functioned did a few scans and after I had finished I put it in standby, upon reboot the box said no signal.An odd acourance, as it reported great signal on first use. If I go into the menus it beeps for a found signal on any satellite despite be having it on a fixed dish, the spectrum analyser shows a signal, but when I go to do a scan, the box  does not show any decibel reading anymore. Doing a blind scan brings up channels from one transponder only. Very odd.After checking all of my connections several times, I was happy 100% that it wasn't the connections. This lead me to believe that it might be a tuner failiure, but the software shows me a normal reading on the spectrum analyser.Tried reflashing the firmware but no change, several releases even going back to the latest original firmware. Nothing even after a "database reset" in the menu. In my testing I was experiening random accourances such as when I removed the nds sky card from the box, upon reboot the signal came back.I then decided to play around with  the time setting, as I was doing this I noticed it was making to box get the signal back in the menu, but my findings were bit random.What I have discovered and from what I suspect the problem might be, I have noticed that every time I switch the box off at the mains it always go back to no signal after a bootup. So the question is do these boxes have an internal battery like a PC motherboard?The box has been operational. After several flashes of firmware and messing around with time setting, I did a "database reset" and it came to life again. But I can't turn it off and which is essencial for me so I can move it or swap an input. I have discovered that if it is turned off for a longer time than say a few minutes then it looses the signal completly upon reboot.I think I have a poorly box, I cannot work out if its hardware/software or both.</blockquote>
