Which channels are affected? The music channels are spread across various transponders.

@WayneP2 

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.

If all the music channels are saying No Satellite Signal then you will be missing quite a lot of other channels. For instance the MTV channels are on the same frequency as various Comedy Central and Nickelodeon channels, and the That's music channels share with True Crime (146), Legend (148) and all the ITV+1 channels.

Yeah it can't possibly be just music channels.
