Doh! Heavy rain = NO sky signal
 

Does anyone else have this problem, or does my dish need repositioning?

mines fine....

Re: Doh! Heavy rain = NO sky signal
 

Are there never any weather conditions which cause you to lose signal?

Re: Doh! Heavy rain = NO sky signal
 

I get that on my freeview box in my bedroom, but that must be my ariel:(
dont have sky anymore....im sad!

Re: Doh! Heavy rain = NO sky signal
 

my partners had sky longer than me and he says no, its always been ok...

Re: Doh! Heavy rain = NO sky signal
 

We get problems when there is bad weather....i.e. very heavy rain, snow etc.
It really hacks me off.

Re: Doh! Heavy rain = NO sky signal
 

I have Freeview as a backup because the Sky signal fails often (glad I dont PAY for Sky or I would be well peeved.)

Re: Doh! Heavy rain = NO sky signal
 

dont know if it makes a difference but our dish is really high up because of all the trees....

Re: Doh! Heavy rain = NO sky signal
 

It must be all the trees nearby = weak signal
I cant have the dish on the roof because I am in a rented flat

Re: Doh! Heavy rain = NO sky signal
 

Mine sometimes goes when the weather is very bad. It's ok tonight, but it's so exposed at the back of my house that when heavy cloud/rain/snow comes off the moors, the signal breaks up.

Re: Doh! Heavy rain = NO sky signal
 

i remeber when sky first said there would be no interference with the new digital ......yeh right:o

Re: Doh! Heavy rain = NO sky signal
 

I have a view of the moors at the back too......nice isn't it :)
I suppose lack of Sky signal sometimes is a small price to pay for a beautiful view :D

PS sometimes hang out of the window and shout 'Heathcliffe' --but he never comes

You'd have a shock if he did turn up!!! ;)

Re: Doh! Heavy rain = NO sky signal
 

You don't get interferance as such with digital satellite. You either get a picture or you don't. If the signal is poor you may see bad pixelation or the picture freezing.
You should not really have problems with heavy rain. I suspect you dish need re aligning or has been poorly installed. Some of the installations by the Sky engineers are not very good, the worst are usually the sub contractors. I personally think they should install the slightly larger zone 2 dishes this far north especially with the quad LNB's that are used with Sky+ and/or multiroom (zone 1 - 48cm zone 2 - 60cm, they are both the same shape). The 48cm zone 1 dishes are usually ok up here but in very bad weather you can start to loose signal.
