Re Lost Channels
. Friends frequently report the loss of several channels at a time,which are usually cured by pulling the mains supply plug or by a software download. Is this a SKY fault ?
However I have two Sky Boxes one of which has lost Sky News and the other BBC news , and a third which has lost all the BBC Radio Channels .Otherwise they work Fine. Is this a permanent failure in the Local Oscillator system or can it be fixed ? T1154

Which box makes/models are they?

There are known issues with a few box variants - often stemming from failing power supply smoothing capacitors.
