You've posted in the Q part of the forum - do you have Sky+ or Q?

What are your Signal Strengths/Qualities? Take a look at the link below:

See question Q11 in my Sky Plus F⋅A⋅Q for Signal Strengths/Qualities

I looked at this signal strength almost full and signal quality i would say 50 /60 % but then it drops and pixilating occurs. Only happens on itv channels is there a reason for this and a anyway to stop it please?

See question Q23 in my Sky Plus F⋅A⋅Q for No Satellite Signal

Signal issues usually indicate an issue with one or more of the following

The Dish is misaligned (not all transponders are getting through, thus some channels may be affected and others not)
The Tuners in the sky box
The input sockets on the Sky box
The plugs on the cables
The cables themselves
The Sockets on the dishes LNB
The dishes LNB has gone faulty for the connections the box is using
You have plugged your Sky+ box into a dish that is only compatible with Sky Q

Please Note: Sky+ is now a legacy/obsolete service that Sky are replacing with their newer services: Sky Glass and/or Sky Stream

You may have to call out a local satellite installer ( at your own expense ), unless you already have Sky Protect insurance, to check/fix your system, another option is to move to Sky Glass and/or Sky Stream (self-install, no engineer required)
