    I'm guessing it is more than likely your line provider. Try emailing them and telling them about the problem and get a test line from elsewhere to see if it the problem goes away.

    No. What channels are you getting scrambled channel on occasionally?

    And how are you receiving subscription channels? If it's a cline contact your provider.

    Sorry I maybe should state, the provider of the cline!

    i have paid £15 to have the channels sorted out (ccline)two weeks ago and paid £18 to view the channels again, but it has gone down again today after only 2 days which was supposed to last until June
