I'd do a forced updated (turn off at wall, hold backup, turn on again). The OS could've got corrupted and therefore be causing a glitch.

As for your lip-sync issues with the surround sound, you need to set the delay in the settings menu. It's just because of the time it takes your surround sound system to process and then output the sound from the Sky box is slightly longer than the picture.

Pace were always appalling until about 2 years ago, now their reliability is much better than any of the other options out there.

Had no probs at all with our Pace Digibox in near 2 years, no random lock ups or overheating at all, but we dont have the new EPG here yet (had the new cards about 6 months though already)
