Sky keeps freezing and glitching !

card

put card in and do a callback should pair itself within 2 to 4 hours failing that give them a call on 08705 800822...rab
 
if you have sky movies or sports you HAVE to ring sky or on these channels you will get the 'this is the wrong card for this box' message, sky will take some details from you and thats it, if you only have free channels then you dont have to worry as it only locks out 'premium' channels

Yep. The callback will work and enable all other channels you subscribe to but when I had Sky+ fitted, and after an hour the movies still wouldn't work but as soon as I rang them up, all was back to normal.
 
If i was you mate i'd try your neighbers box in your house if it cures the problem its the tuner in your box and you will need to eather buy one from ebay and call sky to get the card paired to the box or call sky blag a free service call and you will get a refurbished box. If you find its still the same with your neighbers box then its most likley to be your lnb. I'm a sky engineer and find that 95% of the calls i go to with signal problems its genrally the lnb i change to cure the problem. If you go to change your lnb you will get one for next to nothing on ebay whilst your up there just give your dish a wiggle to see if any of the fixings have come lose if they havent come lose i very much doubt your dish will be out of line if you have been receiveing the channels before. The only other things are the radars in cars thats allready been mentioned or the other big problems are growing trees are there any trees in line of were your dish is pointing?
