woah there strapping young lad dude!
step away from the phone do not call the rip off enginneer , i have had the same problem from my amstrad box. sky told me that i needed a software update and that my box was faulty. wrong answer.
turn your box off at the wall, press and hold the "back up " button and at the same time turn the box back on, keep holding the back up button,  all the lights on the front of the box should light up, this can take upto 30 seconds, you should then receive a message on screen saying updating software. make sure your phone line is connected otherwise it wont work.
it saved me £64  :shock:
hope this works i did for me and cured all the gremlins.

strapping young lad:
ive read about the forced software update but also read it doesnt always fix the issues ive got

it mainly fixes the lag between pressing a key on the remote and the box reacting to it, but its a short term fix

anyway

engineer out thurs cos we're covered :)

Press Service , 4 then 6 should show you if the dish is out of alignment.

Signal strength being the thing you need to look at. Sat should be locked or you would get nowt at all.

I get a good piccy even in the South of France  (Biarritz) with a mini dish strapped to the caravans jocky wheel with 50% signal. Course it doesn't help when French wander in front of it.
