Sky's gone all wanky

[Snake the Sniper]

Evening all.
Just sitting down to a post dinner film, and the Sky+ box has gone and had a fit. It has decided to spend the last 20 minutes trying, and failing, to find any signal. It is snowing, but that has never effected it before. I've done the usual unplug it for 10 minutes thing but to no avail. Any hints or tips boy and girls?

Did this to us last night, snow all over the dish & antennae

[Podie]

Ours did it yesterday, and so did a few people who live locally (error 29).

Sorted itself out about 40 mins later.

[coolcatmaz]

my top box has gone all silly as well, now restricted to normal channels.


And yes it is snowing where I am................again

Nowt for it but to wait until it stops snowing.

[MrV]

We had this last week ,again snow on the dish and lnb,I did find that it would pick up one channel after about 30 mins but when I turned it over it was back to no signal being received.


If you can reach it to clear the snow you might find you still have to reset it

HTH

If it's any help, I watched "Dead Mans Shoes" last night and it was rubbish.

Take yourself in-hand instead.

bskyb conspiracy!

[missdiane]

Little nicky is on, also crap
and Heartbreak Kid is not much cop either

so I wouldn't worry

[Waynester]

That's why we switched to Virgin - cables you see.

Mind you, didn't stop the box crashing last week, apparently the box on the outside wall had water getting in. New box/switch/whatever required

As I understand it you can just pick up the phone and talk to the babestation ladies.

Just don't threaten to kill them. -Instant sense of humour failure.

We got snow on our dish so the mrs thought it would be a good idea to smack the dish with a sweeping brush until the LNB broke.

Cable? I'm lucky I have gas in my village! The nearest towns are 9 and 12 miles away from me as it is.

Lol, for some reason our sky dish is just about the first floor.

O/T I still don't have a job...... yet.

[Sheriff JWPepper]

Ours has been playing silly buggers for about a week now, no snow here.

His Mrs?

On the roof?

With a broom?

She's not got a black cat by any chance?
