Sky problems

[Deleted User]

Are there any obvious reasons why we keep loosing sky TV ,get a message no signal being received(which i appreciate is the reason)
could it be the box or the dish or something else,its happening alot.
The dish and box are about 5 years old,the tv less than a year old and works fine on freeview.
Thanks in advance.

first point to check would be the LNB on the dish ( the bit that looks like an old style bike lamp) if you can reach the dish you can buy them cheaply from ebay

also check the F-Type connector that screws the cable onto the LNB, you should not be abel to see a gap between the connector and the cable and good pratice says it should have this tape round it

Try checking the connections on the back of the sky box sometimes with moving to dust they do become a little lose (strange but true even though its a screw in connection) I have had same issues in the past with mine and it was all down to the connections at the back of the box.
