BBC not being received on satellite...
Has anyone else lost BBC (all channels except BBC News) on their satellite/Sky Digibox? We have had v high winds, but the dish looks OK & signal strength/quality is the same as ever.

BBC not being received
We have been getting the same problem Kate. Fine mornings and gone evenings. Ken has tuned in additional channels for other regions and for some reason they are ok.

I knew nothing about this until I moved here last year and set up my own system with a load of used gear. I learned quick!
I am having no probelms whatsoever and get perfect reception all the Freesat channels including HD.
Tanyia, a question. Are you going to try a DIY fix? If you are I can send you a check list. and suggestions on where to buy bits.

have you tried a reboot of your Digibox?(ie. turn off at the mains and turn on again)
losing ITV Channels in the evenings is a symptom of a dish that is slightly out of alignment or the LNB not correctly 'skewed'
a Digibox losing certain channels could also be a sign that it is developing a fault....is it by any chance a Grundig?
Hope this helps...for any further assistance please contact me:

I used to have the same problem until I noticed that the edges of the dish were vibrating in the strong winds. I drilled some holes in the edge of the dish and fitted steel studding (tige) from these holes back to brackets fixed to the wall. Problem fixed!Colin L wrote:We have noticed in Baho that we often get a picture breakdown (Sky) when there is a high wind . It never seems to happen in Edinburgh - which can produce some pretty winds too.
You have to remember that the dishes needed here are somewhat bigger than for Edinburgh and thus there is more wind force. Also bigger dishes are more critical of pointing errors. The domestic quality dishes tend to be somewhat flimsy.
