Having a bit of a problem with one of my Uno's.
Its been working fine without a problem for the last 2 years, but for the last 2 days its losing the satellite signal.

Channels stop working, check the signal strength and its 0. Messed about with the cable and its fine, other uno box is receiving a signal fine.
Reboot the box and I get a signal again.
Running blackhole 2.0.9

Worryingly, when I turn the box off at the back, it wont immediately restart when turned back off.
I have to unplug everything 1st and let it sit for about 5 minutes before it'll turn back on.
Not sure if i'm having a problem with the tuner or the psu, or both.

I guess this gives me the chance to get a solo2 SE :p
 
First thing to look at would be the LNB.

Your box not restarting could be the PSU but could other things remove any usb devices hdd flash drives etc. and see if the problem persists.
 
I've had the lnb checked before, and been told its a brilliant signal.
I have 2 uno's in the same place (single tuners and cable was for a sly hd box, so one box for each connector)

Nothing usb is plugged into the boxes, just an internal hdd, the lan cable and scart out.

I'll try flashing the new image form blackhole this week, just incase this one has been corrupted.
Was more worried that the tuner was frittzing out.
