pixilation
 
2X V6 now seriously going pixilated. Used to just be C4 , C5, and sky sports. Is it the box or the line ?
I just got new boxes last year due to dead HDD's and lost all my saved stuff. would hate for that again so soon.....
Any help appreciated...

It's the signal on the cable. Make sure all the connectors are tight. If that doesn't fix it, you'll need a technician visit.

The thick cables often get kinked behind the box and can cause damage.
May be worth wiggling the cable to see if that cause a change - may just then need to repace the white link cable.

sinbad said two boxes are doing it, so if it's a damaged cable it must be before the splitter. Not that I'd recommend DIY cable replacement anyway.

I didn't notice the 2x bit :-)

Still worth a wiggle along the cable run I think as it may highlight a weak connection along the line - and may save some time if a visit is needed.

When I had a similar problem the engineer moved my up the priority ladder in the street box.

When the problem re-surfaced a second engineer installed a booster at my end

Signal tweak or re pull if that doesn't fix it is my guess, your boxes are not the issue seeing you have issues on both.
