    If your getting it OK downstairs then its likely to be a box problem.

    However if you also get the problem on the downstairs box I would suggest its a dish allignment problem as that channel broadcasts from a different satellite (Hotbird 1) to what your dish points to (Astra). A properly alligned dish picks up both no problem. Do you have problems on other channels? Some of the ones to check may be Clubland TV, DMAX, Bravo 2, Movies 24 and Bloomberg.
