A satellite installer has said that some boxes/tuners don't like DVB-S2 at low FEC's eg certain early Sony Panasonic mvision and spiderbox tuners.

The early Manhatten Plaza boxes (like mine) are having problems with this change, which seems to be worse in warmer weather for some reason, and affects recordings made more than watching live TV.

In case anyone here has any problems, his advice was to increase ventilation or add a fan and that the DVB-S2 issue might be helped by slightly altering the frequency and/or symbol rate or by deleting and blind scanning the channels back in.
