No satellite signal on some channels on one box only (other boxes are fine)
We have error message 25 ("Your Sky+ isn't getting a satellite signal.") on only one of three Sky+ HD boxes. Only some channels are affected.
The affected box does not display HD pictures when an HD channel is selected.
The affected box is connected to the screen by a scart cable, the other boxes use HDMI, I think. Could that be the problem?

Partly. You can't receive an HD picture if your Sky box is connected via scart cable. You need an HDMI connection.
With regard to the no satellite signal message, if a restart (switch off at the plug for 4 minutes) doesn't resolve it, there's most likely a problem either with the cable to that box, or the LNB port it's connected to at the dish.

There should be no problem viewing a HD channel via SCART as the box downscales the picture to SD, I have recorded HD channels to VHS via SCART in the past

OK, so the "No satellite signal" message has nothing to do with the use of a scart cable to the screen. The message is about the quality of the signal coming to the box from the dish.
Is that correct?

Yes, exactly.
