No, you've completely lost me there. You've also not mentioned whether your issue is C4-SD or C4-HD.
In any case, the signal feed of individual channels is identical regardless of STB software.
If you're having problems with specific channels in the manner you describe, that's far more likely to be a signal and/or tuner issue. There is no national fault with C4 (either SD or HD variant), else there would be a lot more complaints on here than is apparent.
