here are the symptoms: ocassionally, picture will freeze on certain
channels (eg 112 - living, 101 BBC1 etc) then return to ok. Then
sometimes
a blue screen appears with message "No satellite signal is being
received".
This can appear for some or ALL channels! Then moments later all can
return
to normal. This happens daily.

Could this be a digibox prob (it cannot hold or tune in to the
channels/frequencies) OR is it an LNB problem?

My theory is that yes it could be LNB but I am also wondering if the
digibox
is having problems locking on to frequencies. The box is a Pace - one of
the
original ones. I had it about a year into the launch of Sky Digital so it
is
'getting on a bit'.

You dont mention what your signal stregnth and more importantly, quality
are. Check these out. Also try checking something as simple as the
connection from the dish into the box, is it loose? No breaks / kinks in the
cable? Simple stuff I know but always best to have a look. Also try a box
reboot.

Digibox or LNB prob - help!

Ok, when I get these problems, the signal strength is around 45-50% (as it
is normally) but the signal quality is zero.

Is there any chance you could plug your box into another dish, say at
a friends house?

I had the exact same symptoms you described recently - it was an LNB
problem.
