I've been getting these problems for months now,

I'll be watching a channel and then get a minute of a black screen, then ok again, then off, then on etc.

Other times i'll come home and have to reset the box before it will show me any channels at all.....

I actually phoned up this morning and spoke to someone who told me...

1/ When you go to bed at night make sure you turn the box to standby so it can recieve updates (sounds resonable enough but i wasn't totally convinced...)

2/ They were doing routine matinece in my area. no way does this explain every circumstance of the problem happening

Usually once i have reset the box by unpluging it, it solves the issues for a couple of days or so..
