Channel 4 breaking up

rmp1974 — Sun, 25 Jun 2023 21:24:15 GMT

Over the last 3 week's programs on channel 4 break up intermittently and various times of the day. Some programs become unwatchable.
All other channels are fine. Any one else have this issue?

Sounds like your dish alignment.

I have the same problem but some Sky Cinema channels are breaking up too. Can't think of anything that might have disturbed the dish.

@ColinJF
Check that the connections from the Sky dish going into the back of your Sky Q box are still finger tight. Otherwise it’s very likely either;
▫️a dish misalignment,
▫️a failing LNB (on the arm of the dish),
▫️water getting into the cabling,
▫️(short lasting) very heavy rain or
▫️snow on the dish/LNB in winter
so check the troubleshooting on this link

It may then give you the opportunity to arrange an engineer. If it doesn’t you’ll need to contact Sky to book an engineer appointment.

If you are connected to a communal dish you need to liaise directly with your building management company or landlord who will have their approved engineers to contact direct.

It’s worth mentioning that:

🔹 a misalignment is not necessarily something that will be visible to the naked eye and could only affect one or two channels (amongst the first to be affected may be TNT or GB News),

🔹 adverse weather can affect the satellite signal and following such events wait times for an engineer will probably be significantly longer.
