@Gavin5

Take a look at the troubleshooting on the appropriate section of this link.
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-tv-no-satellite-signal
You may then need to contact Sky and arrange for an engineer to check the alignment of your dish. Be aware that if you’re on a communal dish system you’ll have to contact your landlord or building management company rather than Sky.

@Gavin5  Your internet connection is irrelevant if it's showing a no satellite signal.

 

If you work through these steps and if not resolved you can book an engineer https://www.sky.com/help/home/sky-tv/sky-tv-q/fixing-sky-q/fixing-live-tv/no-satellite-signal/articl...

There is no dish as it's a fibre cable that supplies the sky,Bt,internet in one

As per my earlier post… if you’re on a communal dish system you’ll have to contact your landlord or building management company rather than Sky.

@Gavin5  Is it a communal setup then?  There must be a dish communal or otherwise that feeds into the fibre setup, this being the case you'll need to contact the people who maintain the communal system, which isn't sky.

If the error is No Satellite Signal than you definitely have a dish.

Re: No satellite signal for last 3 days

Like I've already said it's a fibre cable which means there is no dish it's supplies tv, broadband, and sky I'm an electrician and I no the main things to check and do

Yes, but to feed a Sky Q box which needs a satellite signal then there must be a communal dish somewhere?

 

However the point  still stands, it's not a Sky issue but needs to be fixed by whoever provides the fibre feed to the property.  @Godfrey  can you advise on this?

hi @Gavin5 

 

Did you follow the lin that @GD1 posted above (#3)  and followed the 'Communal System' path   - especialy the final bit about checking the LNB mode is set to SCR

 

Unfortunately as the others have mentioned, if you can't get it sorted, as you have a communal feed you will need to contact your Housing management people responsible for the communal feed

100% there is not a dish. If you need schooling about how a fibre cable then you're in the wrong job

In case you’re not aware this is a forum where Sky customers try to help other customers. You aren’t talking to Sky Customer Services.

Technically, there will be a dish that feeds the main distribution  system as that is how the channels are broadcast even for such systems but it may not be anywhere near your premises

Sky Q needs a satellite dish to operate. It does not work over fibre/broadband etc. If you think it does then perhaps you need "schooling".

 

Are you sure you have Sky Q and not Sky Stream?
