Do Sky replace Freesat Dishes?

I ditched Sky TV in favour of Freesat about 5 years ago as we failed to agree a deal and i started using the old Sky satellite dish and Humax box which worked great.
The dish has been up for about twenty years in total and just lately is showing a weak signal occasionally.
Do i need to find a private engineer or would Sky fit me a replacement dish for a fee does anyone know?

Unless you take a new contract out with Sky, they will have no interest in fixing your dish problem. A local engineer will be a better option if you want to continue with Freesat.1

They won't replace it if you're not in contract with them, and probably not even if you were.Proud member of the wokerati, though I don't eat tofu.Home is where my books are.Solar PV 5.2kWp system, SE facing, >1% shading, installed March 2019.Mortgage free July 20231
