I'm having problems with my DBOX 2. So of the channels hang or go jumpy. It is intermitent on most channels and constant on others. I was on Telewest and all this seems to have started over the last month or so.
Anyone else seen this or any ideas???

This might sound a little funny but are you using the original cable supplied from T3l3w3st with a F-type connector?

Why I say this is that if you use an after market converted cable the quality is reduced (I noticed a big difference).

Go B&Q and get one of these to use with your cable provided by T3l3w3st:
