I'm afraid you'll have to get the engineer back in.

@Boninappo 

Are you also seeing a no satellite signal message? If so firstly 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
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.

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),

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

🔹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.

@Nancy reboot the main sky a box by unplugging mains 30 seconds.   Then turn on and when tv comes back do the same processs for each mini box that is showing no satellite connection error.  No idea why you have to turn off main working sky q box first and get tv back  followed by the mini q boxes, however it seems to realign everything and get it working.

The original post in this thread is from December 2023: they've probably got that particular situation resolved by now ; )
