Hi All

Here's a heads up for anyone having pixilation issues with there Hills/Zinwell satellite boxes: 

There's currently an odd device issue with Hills satellite receivers.

Hills & Zinwell - the manufacturers - became aware of this issue the day before yesterday, when they received reports of this issue & ran initial tests.

Hills technicians believe it's to do with the way the device STORES SIGNAL DATA, causing a DATABASE OVERLOAD and stops the HILLS satellite receiver from processing further incoming signals.

A TEMPORARY SOLUTION is to turn the device off AT THE WALL, wait 10 seconds, & turn it back on. This should clear the Database to allow incoming signal to be received again, this should allow viewing for about 3 - 5 hours, at which point the device Database is likely to become full again. Repeating the temporary fix will allow viewers to watch for an additional period of time.

Hills/Zinwell has reassured us that they are working on a solution and will need to run further diagnostics early next week before releasing a fix.
