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.
Interesting. I've got one of those boxes, wonder if it's affected, I don't use it often enough to know. Any S2 channels particularly susceptible?
