Yesterday several channels missing or breaking up.
Now no channels at all.
Message says either "Mini TV unavailable No Satellite Signal or technical fault try later."
All Freeview Channels on TV are fine.
Playback not working either.

    Have you tried simply turning your sjy box off for a minute at the electricity and starting it up again? Works for lots of problems x

    Is the Sky box showing you are getting a signal? Go into Settings (the spanner symbol at the top of the page you see in the TV guide or Planner) and then signal. It should show the signal strength and quality for the two inputs.

    No Signal at all since I unplugged
    Sometimes if I unplug and plug back in says Sky Please Wait and then goes back to No Signal.

    So in the menu I refer to above it is showing no signal for either input?

    If that is the case I'd unplug the box and then unscrew the two cables that go into the back of the box that lead from your dish, swap them over for good measure and then connect them back up again, power the box up and see if that works.

    Now have Spanner but do not know how to read signals
    First 2 show white with small blue at right and second show 2 full blue lines but shows telephone line not connected.
    It looks to be taping a programme.

    Well the longer the white bars the better the strength and signal.

    So it's input 2 that's the problem, does it say OK next to 'Input 2 Lock Indicator'?

    It's either the LNB failing or out of line , something obscuring the direct line to the satellite ( tree, scaffolding etc) , water ingress in the cable
