    I take it that you are using sky plus? Have you got two feeds from your dish and have you checked that they are both locked?
    You may want to speak to Sky support, they are very good.

    sky plus requites 2 feeds, you need to change the LNB (end of the sticky out bit on the dish) to one with dual or quad feeds, and take 2 of the feeds to the plus box, LNB houd be £10-£20 i think (i got a quad for £15 from ebay). Dead easy to change, if you have a ladder, and possibly a drill with a long bit to get the feed into your house
