Sports Channels dropping out intermittently

RichardJW — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 16:38:58 GMT

This relates to Sky Q. On all the sports channels including TNT the screen is intermittently going completely blank for 2 or 3 seconds and the picture then returns. The picture appears perfect when it's there. No other channels appear affected. I live in a flat with a communal dish. Anybody else affected? Any ideas?

@RichardJW

Probably more importantly, are other subscribers in the building affected?

You may need to liaise with your landlord or building Management Company if it persists.

I realise that. I was just wondering if it was a more widespread issue. Doesn't feel like a misaligned dish problem. Thought it might be a Sky issue.

Have you got a Phllips TV?

No. An LG, but it's sorted itself overnight, thanks.
