I had a simlar problem. I removed my original box from the cable and all seems fine now. I get problems when the weather is too hot.

I'm strting to think you have a point there and wonder if there is some truth about VM weakening the signal.
My legit box in my sons bedroom was working 100% until the software was changed to VM a couple of weeks ago. I had the engineer out and he cured the problem by fitting a new wall socket but I just feel that was not the full issue. I think the box was just masking a new weakness in the system!!!

i reckon so too because i went onto the technical stuff option and it says signal strenth is good! so why are you freezing you sh**ty box! lol
