My Sky picture is now breaking up in rain and TCM is now like this all the
time. I have had this in the past with very heavy rain but it is now much worse. I have an old Grundig Box, which is now 5 years old. What is the likely cause - satellite dish moving out of position or some kind problem with the box. Which is the best way to proceed get Sky to fix it or some other company? Many thanks |

First, if you can easily access the dish, try re-aligning it, using the
"signal quality" bar graph in digibox menus. Might improve it. Most likely cause is dish movement over time. |

Sky could charge you £65 to just come and re-align your dish, if your box
wasn't working ;O) they would replace that then align your dish. -- RobertJM "spiney" wrote in message ups.com... First, if you can easily access the dish, try re-aligning it, using the "signal quality" bar graph in digibox menus. Might improve it. Most likely cause is dish movement over time. |

Skydigibox quality chart while somebody elses trys to move the arial slightly? "spiney" wrote in message ups.com... First, if you can easily access the dish, try re-aligning it, using the "signal quality" bar graph in digibox menus. Might improve it. Most likely cause is dish movement over time. |

yes, that's about it. Worth trying.
you can also get a cheap "sat bleeper", which connects into dish cable, and emits an audio tone, allowing one person alone to realign dish. |
