    My local retailer said the boxes dont freeze, he's never seen it happen nor has he had any complaints from the 200+ boxes he's sold...

    I've watched TV for around 2 hours now and we've had 3 freezes...

    Can you try your STB on another Satellite Dish installation, (maybe at a mates house) ?

    (like an Austar installation dish) that is not experiencing freezing,

    if it still freezes it is looking like a Vast STB problem,

    If it doesn't freeze, it could be a setup problem at your house,

    just some thoughts that may or may not help,

    cheers

    Thks for the post. It's quite weird, I was thinking I wonder if I have a weak signal but I would expect a little pixelation and then some sort of loss of signal message. I get nothing like this at all...Tonight is crystal clear in Alice Springs, even with the sat elevation from here, its clear all the way...

    This is a replacement box for the one that just fell into an endless boot loop, activated today

    I did the allignment myself with a proper alligner and I spent ages tweaking the allignment and LNB skew. I had the dish setup for PAS8 for nearly 2 years with Selectv with absolutely no issues.....

    Again I read in the forum there are lockups yet the retailers are telling me the world is wonderful...

    Go figure..Pete

    Mines the same continually freezes, I am using dish setup by austar and have never had a problem, still running aurora card in humax and it never ever freezes. also annoying is the add breaks on some channels, I never thought I would say it but I would rather watch adds instead of pictures of outback australia etc, why have encription when the are no adds ? I thought the biggest problem with the whole thing was the COMMERCIAL channels need to make money ???

    In my opinion, VAST is off to a very rocky start indeed. There is a view around from some of the techs that most of this is due to teething problems which should be cleared up in due course. Lets wait and see I suppose, but have a suspicion that the UEC box is a 'real dud'.

    7 Mate dissapeared here as well. Back again now.

    Get a freeze for a couple secs about once an hour on comercial channels, havn't noticed it on ABC yet.
    Could it be something in the stream from the comercial channels causing the freeze?
