@Warwickjc
I presume you have Sky Q so I've moved your post to that board.
If you’re seeing a message displaying ”No signal” it tends to be from your TV, such as possibly 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’ll need to liaise with your landlord or building management company who deal directly with their approved engineers.

That's expected behaviour: a Q or Sky+ box will continue to function for online service for a while after losing satellite signal, but eventually requires a subscription validation over the dish.
