If it's a Thomson box over 2 years old, it could be a power supply fault. Otherwise, a faulty LNB or hard drive could also cause these problems.

thanks, i'll try and record a programme today and see what it's like.


(i see i've put this in the wrong section)

after a lot of searching about, it looks as if it's the psu, satcure has a lot of info on it and theres a guynot far from me that can repair them for £30

If it's a Thomson box, then it could well be the PSU. Other makes will fail too after a time, but the Thomson boxes seem more prone to premature failure.
