What sort of strength is required for good viewing eg no freezing, pixelation, loss of sound.
ATM my Sky HD box shows 50% signal strength, but about 90% quality.
Would this be within normal parameters?

cheers

Are you having viewing problems at those levels ? If not then all is well. If you are check the cable and connections as the strength seems low to me.

Problems as described above

also noticed red pixels appearing at times in the centre of the screen only.
Cables are a ok.

In which case I would say it's probably a faulty lnb or tuner. Can you take your box to a friends house and try it with thier dish ?

Both box and lnb are under warranty as they changed the lnb when fitting the box 9 months ago, suppose if its one or the other my best bet is sly

Thanks for the info

Definatley if it's still under warranty, may as well have them fix it.
