my current set-up is an original sky mini dish with dreambox 5620s, naturally using CS, however the pictures regularly freeze on all channels regardless, so im looking for a way to counter this. so
can someone reccomend a solution or a signal booster (if needed)
cheers

A tv/cable booster is not working for satellite. Complete different frequency range.
A inline 10db sat booster could work. A better idea would be to realign the dish.

If your reception previously was good it looks like a storm moved your dish a little bit.

absolutely all the FTA channels often freeze eg BBC1- truthfully not as much as MTV base, but it freezes nonetheless
