In November, 2010, we got rid of Sky, and went to Freesat+ (it was a Humax unit). We had 6 months of great service, and then we started to loose picture and sound, just for a second at random intervals.
Hughs have been out several times, and could offer no explanation. I have changed HDMI leads, I have also plugged them into different HDMI ports on the back of the television. I have reset the unit, and I check for undates, at least once a month.
In the end, Hughs gave us a new 500GB unit, and for two months, it was perfect. This unit has now started doing the same. It has got to the point, where I have even checked the dish for loose connections.
This problem does not happen when watching normal television, Freeview, DVD, Bluray or video.
Any ideas?

I guess that is the arm on the dish the cables plug into?), it is a possibillity, even tho' my signal strength was better than the shop today!
