Freesat off

nickcc

Has anyone else lost their Freesat signal ? All we get is channel is scrambled and currently not availsble, this is on all channels. All three boxes show good signal, my Daughter is also experiencing the same problem.

well you say boxes. Theres many types.
With 3 different boxes I would expect a dish/wiring fault
with 3 of the same boxes,possibly software

Thunderstorm or heavy rain nearby maybe ?

As I explained in my original post my Daughter, who lives close by, is also experiencing the same problem so doubt if it's a fault with our LNB or wiring or software. I suspect this is weather related so was enquiring if anyone else is experiencing the same problem, as you live in Scotland and I live in Cornwall I very much doubt that we are experiencing the same extremely wet weather at the moment.

Yes near the Lizard. Sorry replied as I thought you meant me.

The signal from the satellite has travelled some 26,000 miles and will be prone to anything that gets in the way of it.

A good example is very dense rain clouds, which a lot of the country is experiencing at present.

You should find that it reappears as soon as the rain passes.

Sorry. I should obviously have known your daughter doesn't live in the same house and you live in Cornwall........

Still don't see the point of giving a stupid answer though, perhaps we have a different sense of humour.

More to the point, OP, has your signal returned?

How rude.....

justaquestion

On the subject of free sat from the sky dish (just got a new dish and retuned the default channel from 68 to 21 RF 2 for the magic eyes in other rooms) is it a common enough thing to have one sky channel breaking up but all others fine, for example the info channel 999 I think was breaking up a lot, but all others seemed fine?

Changing the RF2 to channel 21 gratefully improved the picture through the magic eyes cable though.
