You could try manually changing the frequency slightly. I think you may of missed this sticky topic.. techwatch.co.uk/forums/10023-jumpy-channel-long-wait-fix.html it may help you

(you'll have to copy and paste the link as it wont let me post links until i have 10 posts apparently).

anyone?

Which provider do you have?

I have DigiTV and all the 5 Discovery channels are fine. Although it's windy outside.

Don't worry, maybe there is a problem with the uplink. How high signal are you receiving? DigiTV usually has problems with picture quality. Sometimes the screen just falls apart, then a few seconds later it's normal again. A few years earlier a channel, TV2 was jumping and started flashing in a white colour.
I suggest you wait at least till tomorrow and see what changes.

@korn31 The thing is the signal is sitting at about 86% and all other channels are fine, just the discovery ones are giving me hassle

From how you are describing the problem,it seems to me to be just a temporary problem with Discovery ...I would think it will right itself soon ....

86% sounds good to me and i would agree sounds more like a problem with discovery

I checked the signal jsut there and its sitting at 82% and is the same with all the other channels on that frequency. All the other channels like sky sports movie channels etc have a signal of 85-86% though. This problem with discovery channel has been going on for a few days now.

***EDit***

Its working now ok, must have bn a problem with discovery cheers
