Just wondering if it's a Sky + box by any chance? We recently upgraded to Sky+ and it's been a nightmare ever since. The signal is forever dropping. Record a programme and get "Recording Failed" message, blue screen, voice out of sinc with picture .... the list goes on. Biggest problems are Channel 4, E4, More 4, Tiny pop. I've had sky out a couple of times and apparently the problem is our cordless phone which is plugged in next to the television and Sky+ box. Yet, I've unplugged the phone for a couple of weeks now and we're still having problems. Grant it, not as frequent as before but the service still isn't 100%.
