    Is anyone else experiencing no satellite signal to ITV 1-4 and all the Channel 4stations presently? It's been down since yesterday, I live on the Meath coast. Has anyone any idea what is wrong??

    I can get them fine.

    Are these on your Sky box?
    Have you tried to retune them in?

    Yes, I tried retuning them (on my Sky box) but they are still coming up with no satellite signal being received, they haven't changed frequency have they?

    Further to my previous post, I am actually receiving no satellite signal for about half of the stations we normally receive, including those mentioned above & all the music channels etc Still receiving BBC stations no problem though!:confused::confused:

    Your dish may need to be fine tuned.

    Sounds like an LNB or PSU fault.
    13V vs 18V and 22kHz on vs 22kHz off select FOUR different "banks" of channels on the LNB at the dish.

    I've seen both faulty LNB or faulty Sat box cause this. A noise PSU on set box made LNB think 22kHz was always on, so 1/2 channels missing.
    If the H/V switch in LNB fails (13V & 18V) or one of the two Local Oscilators in LNB fails (22kHz on = 10.6, off = 9.75) then you lose 1/2 the channels.

    I've never seen both faults at once (1/4 channels only).
