is it just my sky that is broken?

[dot.hawkes]

all i am getting is 'no satellite signal is being received' and when i go into the sugnal test it is blank!!! Does it some via Winter Hill? Is there snow up there or something?

"Does it some via Winter Hill?" Errm, no, it comes by satellite...

Get in touch with Sky and tell them that you have gone to the signal test on Sky and havn't got any signal at all,I had to do that as well normally there is a charge for this but tell them that you are thinking of sending Sky back as it is costing you a lot of money for what no picture or anything..

See what happens I hope they don't call your bluff???

is there anything obstructing your satelite? Our satelite was playing up recently, and found the blooming birds sat on top of it!

Sky signals come from a satellite 22,000 miles above the Earth's surface. The transmitter on the satellite is fairly low powered and the signal has to be spread across the UK and parts of Western Europe. That means that your dish has to be very carefully aligned to pick up the very weak signal which arrives where you live. The recent winds might have knocked the dish out of alignment. Alternatively, rain or snow might have found its way into the connections on the antenna. It's likely that you need to get an aerial fitter to take a look at your dish.
