Bush Freesat HD Channel probs.
 

I'm getting service not available on some channels and the signal
strength and quality is fluctuating badly even disappearing, any
ideas?
Dish is a communal install and was working ok up to now.
Could it be the box?

Solved! DECT phone plugged into same extension as Box was causing it.

I lose about half a dozen channels (some are intermittent) with a Philips
DECT phone plugged into a wall socket, even on the opposite side of the room
from a Freesat (or Sky) receiver, only switching off the power rectifies the
problem, which can be a bit of a nuisance to say the very least.

It doesn't say much for the quality of sceening on the co-ax flylead
between the socket & the set. I have a DECT phone within 6 inches of my
computer's USB Freeview dongle - never had any problems

Yes but UHF TV is about 470 to 860Mhz
The down-converted satellite IF is about 950 to above 2Ghz
DECT is 2.4Ghz.

Also I suspect the OPs problem wasn't so much the DECT base and the
satellite receiver sharing the same phone socket, rather it was DECT antenna
being close to the satellite IF cable or the tuner.

but the problem is probably front-end overload

yes - did I not imply that by suggesting the problem was a poorly screened downlead.
