Hello Stephen,
I'm not sure what you mean by "panny"? Do you mean your satellite
receiver?
If the receiver (or set top box, as it is also called) freezes it could
be due to
meteological reasons; very heavy cloud or strong winds. These could be
possibilities.
Maybe your dish needs adjusting to get the strongest signal or maybe
you need a larger
dish, possibly 90cm. I hope my suggestions are helpful to you. Finally,
it might be a good idea to give your LNB a check and make sure that it
is not damaged. Good luck, Stephen.
(I have to say that the old analogue satellite signals were stronger
and also easier to tune into than digital satellite; don't you agree?)

Have the BBC buggered something up and are broadcasting out-of-spec
again, possibly?
