In the past day or two the reception from our Sky satellite has become quite poor. Many of the channels are jumpy or suffering bad interference. We have three boxes, and the problems differ in severity on each but all have problems, and the worst affected box regularly has a no signal being received message. Signal strength is always good, signal quality changed from good to nothing, and network ID is either at 00002 or 00000. I thought it might be a problem from the snow but the dish doesn't seem to have been knocked out of its alignment.

Thanks for any help

Hang your Xmas tree lights around the dish and LNB to melt the snow!

Snow's gone, reception is now fine on two of the TVs but still very bad on the other. Very confusing

Swap LNB cables to see if the fault follows one cable. Check for water in that cable.
