I have exactly the same problem, its bloody infuriating, particularly when you have the DVD recorder set up for regular recording. I missed the whole of Eastenders last week because I came home to a 'black screen'. Also, the Pace box when its not giving me the 'black screen', it will often just drop the audio.

Does this happen much with anyone else and would a new Samsung box be any better?

The other question I have is whether the Samsung uses regular IR for the remote control or still uses the IRDA protocol like the Pace? The IRDA protocol is such a pain if you use a Universal Remote Control and Digisender.
