    As the problem continued I thought I'd investigate and seeing as most channels were working
    I started at the receiver and fitted a new patch lead between it and the V box and hey presto
    Everything was working again but on going back later I was getting Tune fail so took the V box
    out of line and boxnation etc are now working with no black screen :)).Lucky for me I have a
    brand new one in the cupboard so alls good.Thanks to all who offered advice and especially
    mckee25 who never gave up trying to sort it.

    Good to hear you got to the problem in the end, as I stated in a previous post I found replacing the LNB cured the odd frequency problem.
    I use the VboxII & some what concluded the same as you've described above but found after a few days I had bouncing signals on them said channels so I replaced LNB and hay presto I was able to use the old vbox again, I've got to admit though I have retired the old vbox since to the loft for a rainy day.

    The Vbox usually suffers from dry joints, I'd get hold of a soldering iron and give it the once over, I've also noticed that resitting the pcb can help when I've had problems in the past ;)

    I might send the old Vbox off and get it looked at and keep it for a rainy day.
    I have a second invacom LNB so if I need to change that's fine.

    Oh btw I swore by invacom LNB's until I come across my problem but I soon swapped ships as the 4 year warranty was worth the paper it was wrote on... Tried many emails to invacom with no reply. I had my lnb about 15 month before it played up.

    Fine with that acco,I would be handy with a soldering iron and did intend to have
    a look inside so I will let you know how I get on.As for the invacom LNB I would
    have it in use for a number of years now, not sure how long.
