I'm at a friend's house in Santiago who has a satellite setup that appears to use Dish Network. This was a "private" installation.

Every 10 minutes or so, the signal freezes for about 30 seconds...then returns. During the freeze the word "Scramble" appears in the upper left corner.

The i-link box (model ir-210) is connected to the router with internet access.

Any ideas what's causing this and/or how to fix it?

Thanks!

Sure it's not a FTA setup?

Can be either the private server he is using is bad, meaning too many people connected already and therefore interruption, or his internet connection fail from time to time.

Well could be also the equipment itself, I'm using SonicView with Ihub and works perfectly for about two years now, did installations myself.

Hope this helps.
