If you've already checked the cable / connection.

Then just a wild guess, but maybe it could be an overheating problem.

My computer screen will black out for a second periodically when the computer graphics card gets too hot.

The converter chips in the Astro box are basically graphic cards / processors and will do weird things if they get too hot.

Try ventilating the area around the box or maybe even removing the cover.

Astro should have better graphic cards / processors when next decoder (Hopefully better than B.yond) released. smile.gif

Yes, I think Astro should upgrade to quantum processors in the next model so they don't produce any heat.  tongue.gif

But I think quantum computing may be a few years away. hmm.gif

In the mean time maybe they should simply improve the heat dissappation in the new versions.

Put in custom water-cooler will be fine... brows.gif

Out of curiosity, what do u think is wrong with the ones in the stb now? IIANM Pace uses Broadcom chips for most of the heavy work. They are pretty good.

Even if the decoder is cooled down, there's still audio/video sync problem and sometimes "garbled picture". icon_question.gif
