Sounds like you may need your dish alignment checked. Have you checked the signal strength on the channels you have problems with?
Give Sky a ring to arrange an engineer to check your dish.

@Kevski1
If you’re seeing a message displaying ”No signal” it tends to be from your TV not being on the correct input (check the HDMI cable between the Sky Q box and your TV)
Whenever a “no satellite signal” message is displayed, that relates to your Sky Q box, so firstly check that the connections from the Sky dish going into the back of your Sky Q box are still finger tight. Also check out 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 to check the alignment of your dish.
A misalignment is not necessarily something that will be visible to the naked eye and could only affect one or two channels. If you’re on a communal dish you may initially need to liaise with your landlord or building management company.

Hi @Padam_Padam
Afraid the Signal strength indication on Sky Q is not relative to the Channel being watched.
It's just related to one transponder
