Is anyone else's Sky tv constantly affected by bad weather? My picture is constantly freezing and pixelating when it's windy and rainy and I'm getting so sick of it I'm seriously considering moving to cable.

Have you checked your dish lately? It may have moved slightly during recent winds. Are there any trees nearby that are blocking the signal?0 -
We've had a sky engineer out twice in the last 4 months. He's replaced a part on the dish that he said was letting water in and the second time replaced all the wiring. Everything then works fine till the next bout of bad weather!0

Sounds like you need a new dish and cabling rather than "piecemeal" repairs to the old equipment.
Unless you are still within your guarantee period, I'd get an independent to do the job rather than let Sky do a "£65 job".0
