This far north we should use a 60cm dish not the 48cm dishes that most installers use. They do it because they are cheaper and people like the look of the smaller dish on the house
We use a flaming great big one Neil, which runs the community aerial system, but even that's been effected, nothing normally bothers that so it must be quite bad outside, ain't looked since 5-15pm

You lot do talk technical bull, all you have to do is spit on the string to wet it again.

We're having the same problem at the moment, freeview box. Missed part 2 of Silent Witness. I assume it's something to do with the weather.

It is possibly due to the M class solar flare yesterday.

On Wednesday evening I couldn't get BBC channels and Sky News channel on my freeview TV set . I got the message on the screen saying weak or no signal . It was the same on Thursday morning .

I re-tuned the TV on auto tuning and got the channels back .

I still don't know what was wrong , but the re-tuning worked . :confused:

Your use of a 'sarcastic smiley' makes me think you regard my earlier comment to be just 'conspiracy theory'.

Virgin use satellite dishes at their head ends to collect and distribute the TV channels down their cable/fibre. They use big dishes but bad weather can still be a problem for them.
