As my Mum used to say, "buy the best you can sfford, it is cheaper in the long run". All I can suggest is to take it back and ask for something which is "fit for purpose", this box seems to be inadequate.
All the best, Ron.

I have been into tesco's today and spoke to Steve one of the tech boys there
Q1 do you switch the unit at night
anwser Yes I turn all my gear off.
Steve said leave it on for a few days A good few people have been in the store in the last few months with the same fault,It seams at night it does some kind of upgradeing.So for the next few days I am going to keep it on.If that does not work I can take it back and they will swap it.

Ron Lake,thankyou for having the time to try and help me on this fault, none of the tech boys have got back to me.It must be as much a mystery to them as it is for us.
Thankyou

David Parker,
I'm happy if I have been able to help you in any way, however small. At least you got some advice from the seller and can go forward either way from there.
In fairness to Brian and his regular team of techies, there are a lot of different pages / topics to monitor and offer help on. During the switchover which is still ongoing in various parts of the country, they must have their work cut out for them and it IS all done on a voluntary basis. It must also get up their noses when certain people (no names) come on and gripe about lack of channels, when the channels aren't even being transmitted at that location. It is not under their control.
I hope the advice works and if not, you can at least return the item and have something which will work as it should.
Please get back to us after you allowed the box to upgrade to let us know what if anything has improved so that the info can then be shared with anyone else having similar problems.
Best of luck, Hope it works out ok.
Ron.

I have just found this on the Technika page
Technika Freeview HD Set Top Box (May 2011)
Download latest firmware here STBHDIS2010_0161.zip
This firmware upgrade will resolve a number of outstanding issues when watching HD channels that may be experienced by a small number of users. Please note that this upgrade is only intended for boxes with a model number STBHDIS2010. Please check the model number on the base of your box and do not attempt to install this software on any other type of box.
To upgrade your firmware, please perform the following steps. You will need a USB memory device which is formatted as FAT32.
Download and save the STBHDIS2010_0161.zip file, see attached
Unzip the file this will create a folder called HYLAB_7105 containing a file A3M-ST2A-10-0161.usb
Copy to the folder to the top level of your USB memory device
Remove mains power from your STBHDIS2010
Insert your USB memory device
Restore power to the STBHDIS2010 whilst pressing and holding the MENU key on the front panel (or pressing the MENU button on the remote control repeatedly) until you see USB on the front panel display
After a few seconds, the front panel shows USB and the unit will now update the firmware automatically; this will take a few minutes to complete. DO NOT REMOVE THE USB OR SWITCH OFF POWER TO THE BOX UNTIL THE BOX UPDATE IS COMPLETE AND AUTOMATICALLY GOES IN TO STANDBY
When the update completes the STBHDIS2010 unit will re-boot and go in to standby. It will then be ready for use.
Switch on the box from standby using the front panel power button or using the remote control.
Retune the box as per the instructions on screen.

David Parker,
Seems this is not a reliable product. Don't bin it, I would take it back to the supplier and ask for a refund or something which WILL work as this is clearly unsuitable. If they give you the link for a firmware update, ask THEM to do it, don't tell them you have or it may void your warranty.
Must add that this is my opinion and not to be attributed to this site or its owner.
Best of luck,
Ron.
