John Brady: If your dish is fitted with a single LNB it sounds like it has changed alignment slightly, as the German channels are carried on the Astra satellites at 19.2 degrees, rather than the 28.2 degree position used by the channels aimed at the UK and Ireland. If you have two LNBs linked by a diseqc switch, you currently have the other LNB selected.

John Brady I presume you mean "freesat" or "free to air" set up. All the channels you mentioned losing are at 28.2°E but most of the German channels are at 19.2°E so is it possible that a strong wind has moved your dish a few degrees to the west? I know it seems unlikely but if following your retune you can receive e.g. 3Sat, BR-Alpha, Das Erste etc. then it would seem that that has happened and that you need to get your dish realigned back to where it should be pointing

My sky signal has gone since my neighbours put up a giant sattelite dish. They are about 7 feet appart. Could this be the reason i am not getting a signal anymore?

I am responsible for a ship which is going to be working off the Western Italian coast. We currently have a Freesat system on board. I understand that we would be able to receive all the same programmes via the Eurobird satellite without any problem. Please can you confirm.
Thanks.

If theirs is inbetween yours and the satellite; certainly. eg if it is above or if they point sideways to a wall they are mounted on.

If just next to each other, 7ft should be plenty separation. We have three very close - within inches of each other.

Could thay have knocked yours out of alignment when putting up theirs?

Andy - this link Dish Installation for Astra 2 at 28.2° East & Eutelsat 28A at 28.5° East shows you the footprints of the Freesat satellites at 28.2 and 28.5 degrees east. Note the comments about the tight UK only beams.

I am getting a NO SIGNAL message on my standard sky box but I have a signal on my Sky hd box in a different room. I have checked all the connections and the LNB. What could the problem be. I had cancelled one of my multi-room connections but still have two.

Why is it that for the last few days ALL TV stations are NOT transmitted in the early morning.
For the last two days my neighbour (84yr old) has come round to me saying her TV is not working (no signal). Today I switched on my set at 07.45 and my TV said the same. So I had another visit. By 09.00 all stations are back on.
I have also lost ITV4 mid way though a film at approx 23.00.
If you are carrying out work on the transmitter it would be helpful if you notified users.
I would appreciate your comments as I am now seriously considereing moving over to FreeSat!
