I'm not sure if this has been discussed before on this forum, or not, but anyhow, here goes ...

I've got a basic Sky installation, not Sky+ or multiroom, just the 1 digi-box in the living room. All my channels including movies and sport are being received fine, except for a few, which are very pixelated and can't be watched.

The list of channels are:
Channel 4 + 1 ch. 135
True Movies ch. 323
True Movies 2 ch. 324
POP ch. 616
Tiny POP ch. 617
Baby TV ch. 623
Tiny POP + 1 ch. 625
POP Girl ch. 626
POP + 1 ch. 627

The 1st 3 channels are the ones I'm interested in receiving clearly, the others are given for info.

I've had a Sky engineer and senior engineer out last weekend and they have both changed the receiver. dish, LNB and cable to new items, so it isn't faulty equipment, or doesn't appear to be. The senior engineer suggest a new Sky card which is now in place and "paired to the machine", but the fault still persists. The engineers, both normal and seniors are baffled by this.

Does anyone have any ides as to what can be causing the problem, or have the same problem?
