I've just upgraded

I'm impressed.

The phrase 'No satellite signal is being received' has never been so colourful and clear.

ohhhhhh

i cancelled sky 5 months ago because the signal kept breaking down and i couldnt see why i should pay for a limited service

they kept billing me after the cancellation

even sent a few threatening letters

funny thing is that now i still have sky working and they have stoped billing me - its easy to be confused by sky me thinks

We don't have many probs with sky. The only time we have probs is when the weather is bad

Usual cause for this is signal scatter because of snow or rain, do you have any of those?

If not take a peek at the dish, it may be covered in snow and that is affecting the signal.

Failing that I would ask the engineer to come back and check the dish alignment and cabling to the receiver.

Our dish was covered in snow and we couldnt watch sky so i had to throw the line prop at the dish and hit after several attempts but solved the problem and now we can watch 200 channels of shite again in Hd

I don't know if you have noticed but some of the SD channels, especially film ones are looking blurrier than normal. At first I thought it was just my eyes but comparing it to Virgin Cable SD versions of the same channel I was right.

Wonder if it is a ploy to make people upgrade. After all you only have to reduce the picture to 99% of its size and stretch it back up to get lovely bilinear filtering blurryness.

in the end all the channels will be in hd.

just a matter of time until the majority have upgraded tv sets.

wont stop sky charging a fortune for it though.

never understood why direct tv in the states was so much cheaper, more channels in hd and better interactive stuff like nascar,nfl,mlb and nhl.

i could see why americans sit on the couch so much

Snow on the dish ??

Failing that, the next most likely cause is poor dish alignment - don't try to move it yourself, you need a meter to do the job accurately

Other causes - damaged dish usually the window cleaners ladders are the No.1 favourite for doing that, could also be a defective LNB / cable or even a faulty receiver.
