Thats such bad advice in so many way. Firstly, it won't get your signal back, that ruddy snow is causing it, atmospheric conditions. Also I'm not sure advising people to climbing on their roofs in the middle of this weather is a particularly good idea.

firstly... yes it will, as i successfully removed the snow from my dish which was causing the interference as it had built up on it and the signal was back to full strength. secondly...granted i wouldn't advise anyone to climb on there roof (which in theory i didn't) my sky dish is located directly below a bedroom window to which i jumped to the conclusion that everyone's may be easily accessible to some degree and i decided to use a quicker method of lukewarm water poured over it instead of using hutchies method of a hairdryer which i may try next time.

Had the same problem all night too, also the free view box which hubby watches in the kitchen will not work either. Tried again at 9pm and at last i have got the signal back so can now watch something decent on telly. Know the weather is to blame just hope it does not affect tomorrow nights match, cant wait for the new season to start.
