Check cables are ok and secure. Dish might have moved/been damaged. Recordings should still work though. What happens if you press the Sky button?

@Mukeshji147 Note that if the fault is with your main box then the mini box won't work as it is a slave device

Although we should point out that if, due to the lack of signal, the box missed it its 'Keep Alive' signal all functions, including recordings, won't be available until signal is restored.

Yes, though I thought it was a timer rather than schedule which would stop it?

I think they are just periodic signals and I think people can be unlucky if the authorisation signal was due shortly after the loss of signal
