DSTV HD PVR2 decoder - Catch-up and Box Office titles missing...

Tuner 1 is for the program you are watching
Tuners 2 and 3 only show a signal when you are recording something, or the VoD is updating
Tuner 4 is for the iPlate, etc

You really need a sat meter for (1), but..

1 Check the dish alignment
2 Check the skew angle. It should be 153 deg (about 4.30 pm)

The skew angle is the one that commands the least attention, but can affect recordings, etc

Lastly, what is the condition of the cable from the LNB to the receiver? If it is over 5 years old, best replace it. Also make sure that the connections to the LNB are clean (spotless) and sealed with self-amalgamating tape.
 
Oh yes, I got carried away. Maybe this guy should look on the DSTV forum, lots of (fairly) helpful info on there. The LNB settings, etc are the same though.
 
I have the same set up and have had the same problem, check the connections on the back of the pvr first, mine was slightly loose tightened it and worked perfectly after, also switch the connectors on the back around, then check signal that will tell you which cable is faulty, then follow that cable up to the dish and see if there are anyproblems with it.
