No. It's not a regional issue or national issue. It will be down to your dish.

ITV1, 2 and Channel 5 are all working for me. Try restarting your box and if it still doesn't work you may have a dish alignment issue.

@Steve+quinnell 
If you’re seeing a “no satellite signal” 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 a dish misalignment or possibly a failing LNB (on the arm of the dish) 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 to check the alignment of your dish. 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 / landlord who will have their approved engineers to contact.

It’s worth noting that:

▪️ a misalignment is not necessarily something that will be visible to the naked eye and could only affect one or two channels

▪️ 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.

@Steve+quinnell 

So have you contacted Sky to arrange an engineer to check / realign your satellite dish as advised already?

I've got to call them as I can't order an engineer to come out because the page is not responding and saying I've got a package on its way. I will call them later and thanks for responding 

 

Have you had issues with itv channels?
