is it happening on free channels, pay channels or both ? the info below only applies when watching non free channels,..during a freezing event check your ecm time,..dont know what box or image your using but try pressing the blue button when the freez happens & look for the ecm time,...should be below 0.300 in an ideal setup,..around 0.160 is good.

under 3.00 or under 0.300 ? thats important,..as it's only happening on pay channels the problem is with your provider !! & I don't mean your ISP if you get my meaning ??..the image is good.

thanks for reply.ecm showing 0.j93 sometimes when freezing.up and down between that and 0.455 approx.the reason i dont think its a(provider issue)is that my friend is using same provider with no problem.how sure do you feel that the problem is with provider.thanks

if the free to air channels and all the menus and functions of the box are working correctly its not the image at fault ,i asked earlier if you checked your signal levels (if your dish and lnb are ok on a dm500 you should have about 90% plus snr and agc will be around the same , a dm800 can show lower levels around 60% to 70% )if you have a reasonably good signal level and you have no trouble with any fta channels that leaves only your broadband or c line provider. a good test would be to bring your box to your mates house (if you can as you say he has no problems) and hook your box up to his router and dish and see if the problem is still there.

1 hop is good,..for stable picture the ecm time should be 0.130 to 0.190,..are other computers in you home using the net/downloading whilst your watching TV ? what ccam version are you using,... 2.1.3 or 2.1.4 are the latest.

Just an idea,...swap boxes with your mate & see does the problem travel with the box or remain at your location

this is a common problem with a minority of users...if your box works fine at a friends house than we can dismiss the box or its firmware to be at fault..we then look towards the dish end...make sure the dish is aligned properly,and that the lnb is set to band 2(four bands from 1-4),since that is the common sky setup band..if you are still having a problem,then you have 2 problems/solutions....
firstly,you have to check if there are obstacles(i.e phone masts,microwave emmitions in the vicinity of your dish path)..if there are not,then repositioning of your dish lower down,may help or getting a bigger dish....
I say this from experience,since i too have had this problem in the past...hope this helps

I dont have a dish yet but as my cable has gone was going to buy one and install myself.
is it do-able?
one other thing is do I need an external ISP to ensure there is no trial back.
as is said very new to this but would like to look into it more.

Yes setting up the dish is do-able but not easy,I am a TV engineer and have to use a digital meter to get te best from the sat.

the sky sat is pretty strong so if a few houses near you have a sky dish point yours as near to how theirs is pointing as possible and you should be ok ,that said yes a meter is the only way to be 100% .but the sky sat is so strong that almost anyone can pick it up.get your dish and box sorted first mate before thinking about anything else.

Having read all of this, the thing that is unclear to me is if you used a DM500S with a sly card and subscription, what are the limitations? In other words, what can you do with a sly box that you can't do with a DM500S?

with the dm 500s you can share internally and externally which you cant do with a sly box

I understand that. But does it have a crap EPG? Do the coloured buttons work ie If there is a different program 'on the red button' can you see it? I've seen people post that 'You wouldn't use a DM500S to replace a sly box' but they haven't explained why. Can someone explain please?

yes there are limitations ,you wont get the sky epg on a dm500s you could get it or simillar on a box such as a dm800s (you get now and next as standard ) you can get the red button sports (but not by pressing the red button) there is no box that has all the functions of a sky box .im afraid thats the price to pay if people want low cost tv via cardsharing.
