No satellite signal

I have a sky q box, I've had it for years no issues up until now.

 

Ive done all the steps as advised and I have zero satellite issues. Will a new box fix this issue or not? I'm unable to use any of my sky services at the moment, just the extras that I pay (third party apps).

unlikely needs a new box - dish alignment/issue more likely.

@lisa20043 
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 the link already provided. 

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.
