If it is a dbox you can check the signal strength
The main cause is the signal. Either the feed isn't connected to the box or your signal is too low. Press REd then BLUE and note the SNR %. This needs to be above 55,000 before you will get any channels from a scan or 'time'.
Ideally it needs to be about 62-64,000 before you'll clear all channels. If it's inbetween these values, you risk missing channels from a scan or exisiting channels freezing or stuttering.
Also cheap cables with no screening can cause problems

looks like 2 have it wrong
the box he has is a db500c dreambox 500c
it may be a clone
and if i am right i think some of them had signal problems
what u may be able to do is to buy a aerial booster and put this in line this may cure the problem

I had a similar problem last year. Rather than buying a signal amp I cleared up the signal with shielded co-ax cable.
I guess it depends on how much equipment you have and the number of possible signal polution sources and the amount you need to increase your signal.
Another quick fix is to make sure your not got any attenators between plugs.

Is the arial booster to improve the signal strength?????? So the problem is siganal strength related then!!! All be it that the box is a bit ifffy
