I keep getting a message that my Freesat  Recordable 4K TV Box is
setting up the dish and then it has lost the picture. If I then select a channel I get 95% signal strength and quality. It's a nuisance but I'm
not sure how to fix it (and Freesat just said it as nothing to worry
about).

I don't know who makes the boxes but it's branded Freesat and I bought it form Freesat:

I was hoping they might give me a steer as to what to look for, once I've selected a channel the signal is perfect, 95% strength and quality.

Universal LNB or Wideband (aka Q) LNB?
It's the wideband version, fitted earlier this tear when I moved here. I wonder
if it has moved slightly although signal strength/quality is 95% once the setting up bit is complete.

When first turning the box on, it takes a while to disappear, not timed
it. It didn't used to happen which makes me wonder if I have a problem brewing.

Is the Freesat box doing a channel update? Why do you switch it off - they >are designed to be permanently powered.
