Check and tighten all connections gently wipe viewing card and ensure it is in the correct slot. Try calling Holderness Satellites they are very good and offical sky agents.

Check your settings to see if the dish is locked on and the signals good ?


The box sounds ..................... knackered

They charge an earth to repair it, give em a ring and see what they can offer you Sky HD is looking quite cheap at the moment.

If you where considering changing up at some point now might be a good time.

Not sure if you are getting any channels at all but with the dish out you may still get some but not all. Apart from geting up a ladder or on the roof yourself (If you do this don't take Emu up with you) you'll have to get Sky round to get em to look at it or any aerial fitter can do it for ya.

Could also be a faulty LNB which again you’ll have to get a professional in to sort out.

It's fine now thanks

I already pay nearly £60 for Sky I'm not giving them any more bloody money!! I'm not one of the lucky ones who rings up to report something and gets offered a free sky+ box or something, even when I've threatened to cancel!!
