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.

    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........
