Losing channels overnight

[Stainl988]

Box:

Manufacturer: Sagemcom

Model: RTIW387

Variant: RTIW387.002.P

Hardware Version: 0007

Software:

Component Software: 4.2.226(6eac6b)

Manufacturer Software: 0.14.56

Broadband connection is wired.

My eetv box keeps losing channels overnight, even after factory reset. Initially,  I had 175 channels. All seem to be 100% signal quality, an example being channels 102.

Each morning, I have either 74 or 26 channels left. Channel 102 is one of those missing. If I retune or factory reset, the channels return. They seem to be lost again overnight. All cables seem to be connected correctly and given the channels always show as 100% without fiddling with these, it seems to be a box issue. I am not sure how to proceed.

Is anything being turned off overnight that could be affecting the aerial?  e.g. a signal booster?  Or is the aerial passing through any equipment on its way to your TV Box, that is being turned off?

Also, it's worth checking signal strength - if this is also 100%, then the signal is actually too STRONG for the box. An attenuator would fix this.

The aerial line is directly in the ee box before being chained to other devices. The loss odmf channels is now even more regular. Can lose channels within the same day. In fact, any time I come back to pressing the power button to activate the software, numerous channels have been lost. Went down to 24 channels today.

When remaining channels are tested for signal quality after the channels have been lost, it is very low and sometimes becomes undefined with no picture broadcast. 

Again, if retuned, channels are around 100% quality/strength. 

No changes have been made to the aerial.
