Default Digibox or dish problem

My digibox has begun to behave badly. Increasingly, the picture
deterioriates or freezes. No staellinte signal received appears on
weaker channels and even some recorded programmes have a habit of
freezing in several places. I reset the box frequently but to limited
effect. Is this likely to be the dish, cabling or the box itself? Is it
worth trying Sky or just go independent?

Thanks.

Sean

What is the signal strength/quality like? The dish might simply be out of
alignment.

It's a Sky+ box with slight differences for each signam but generally
about 40%.

Too low. Surely the dish has moved or the LNB is faulty.
