@Andy19730

As asked by @Annie+UK if you reply on here as to whether you have Sky+ or Sky Q we can give you the correct advice. The advice will be different depending on which you have.

@Andy19730
If you are seeing any kind of ”No satellite signal” related message, 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,
▫️it is currently raining very heavily (in which case see if it returns to normal when it eases).

So check the troubleshooting on this link
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-tv-no-satellite-signal-sky-q
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.

Additionally:

🔹 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 GB News and CNN),

🔹 a Sky Q box requires a periodic 'Keep alive' signal that is delivered via the satellite so if that isn’t received the box will close down until the satellite signal is restored.

If you're in the UK and have no signal on Film 4+1, you should find E4 (SD version), More4 (SD version). 4Seven and Channel 4+1 are also affected.
