I'm looking to replace our digibox, because it keeps freezing every so often and the reception is poor in bad weather. I dont really have much info on what the best boxes are to date so i was wondering if anyone could suggest some which are fast and reliable. Looking to spend no more than £100. Thanks, Nick.

£100 should get you a pace sky+ v2 box. Would be my suggestion.

Sounds more like a problem with the LNB or cable connections to the LNB. If this is the case a relacement box will not cure it.
SKY will come out and fix it for £65 including a replacement refurbished box if necessary. This is then guaranteed for three months.
If you want to DIY look for LNBs and boxes on ebay.
I had picture problems in bad weather, but when I complained to the sky installer, they came and re'aligned the dish. I had already got a dish with a single LNB, and the installer just chucked up the Sky+ Quad LNB without doing a full alignment check. In bad weather I just lost all signal.
After I complained they just realigned the Quad LNB (which was heavier, and tends to bend the arm a little) and now I get perfect picture on all channels, come rain, snow, or even sunshine.
