[QUOTE="AlanTreet, post: 1127696, member: 417137"] Thanks for the reply. I don't have one available, but one irony is that had this happened a year ago, shortly after my mum passed away, she had a spare digibox to hand, but after all this time, it's long gone. However, looking at the recordings over the past 2-3 weeks until I realised it had gone wrong (since I don't actually use it much these days), it looks like it was failing around the time of those recent storms, as the amount recorded each time has tailed off, and then stopped a few days later. I think that must be the answer, and hence it needs someone to come and check the dish and LNB. It's been about 22 years since it was put up, so it's lasted a fair while. These days, I don't really use the dish because everything is online, and if I miss something, I can find it online, so I'm wondering whether to bother at all - or just get it done because otherwise, it would irritate me just sitting there in a broken state.
