Re: Is this a familiar/known fault ??? HELP!

The decoder can skip or repeat frames if necessary to keep the timing accurate, but this is rare and only affects the odd channel (like the Sky Sports fault you mention). If most or all channels are doing it, this sounds like a fault with the box, but I've never come across it before. I suppose it could happen if a crystal has gone off frequency.

If you rewind then play again, does it skip in the same place?
