"Dog" is "Digital Onscreen Graphic", one of those irritating things that get stuck in the corner of the screen (or often *taking up* about a quarter of the screen!) with a logo/ station ident/ clock/ whatever on it.

This one's a bit of a myth. The only time this makes any difference is if the signal is so low that the STB won't boot at all (typically sticking on 'tune'). Holding the down button bypasses some of the tuning steps.

As for the OP's problem, not much idea. E4 is in the middle of the frequency range in Manchester, so it isn't one of those edge-frequency problems.

I actually wasn't sure in which case of a "weak signal" that this procedure would help - thought it may be worth a try though as it did mention for those with weak signal

thanks for clearing it up...
