has F1 channel changed satallite?

since sky F1 changed channel to 407. I can no longer watch it, because I am on sky+.

I am wondering if they have changed satallite at the same time, like they did with GB News last year? When GBN moved location and the weather is bad, it pixelates and goes off. I was advised then it was moved to another satillite, which is weaker and need to upgrade to skyQ. This is doing exactly the same thing now.

When raining they are the only 2 channels that go off. the only 2 channels I watch every day. As a Sky channel is a subscription surely they should not have done this. all other subscribed channels work normally. even other free to view ones. very frustrating. I am paying for a service I cannot watch when weather is a bit wet!😠

More likely it's your dish is slightly out of alignment or the LNB is failing, as they're prone to do once they're more than 5 years or so old.

Sky no longer provide engineer support for Sky+ customers, hence the suggestion to upgrade to Sky Q, but you can engage a local satellite installer to check it for you.

I must have done very well then, as I have had the same dish for around 30 years, one of the first black oval ones. Just recently had cable fitted. which was supposed to make it better. but it didn't as they want me to change the box.
