Check your SCART lead connections.

Best solution is throw the telly out and read a book, talk to someone or even throw a party.....

Colin can you tell us what box you are using re your TV service if it's a humax box try this ... If not let us know your sat box details.
To narrow down the problem you could try using a scart connection rather than the HDMI, if your TV has a scart input. If the scart works O.K. it maybe worth trying the different video modes using the Remote Control V-Format button

The nice lady at Brit Sat says it's solar flares effecting many sets. I'll try replacing the hdmi with scart and revert, thanks Bunter for a sensible suggestion.

PS it's a British Bush box, acceptable quality except I can't record off of it for those poor souls who don't have telly and want a particular prog recoreded.

I changed to scart and the video was fine but couldn´t get any audio for one evening but last night the scart was useless. Changed to another digibox on hdmi and couldn´t get anything at all. In mornings reception is fine for tv and radio - all very strange. I´ll see what develops but it´s good old Filmon for now.

Anyone know of a British Forces broadcast system using a different bird and a small dish, I hear it gets BBC and ITV channels .....haven´t had a chance to Google it yet.

I checked out the British Forces Broadcasting System and coverage to Spain doesn't show up anywhere. Here is the link:
