See question Q23 in my Sky Plus F⋅A⋅Q for No Satellite Signal

 

"No Satellite Signal" is an error generated by your Sky box, it has nothing to do with broadband (Internet connectivity) and usually indicates an issue with one or more of the following

 

  • The Dish is misaligned (not all transponders are getting through, thus some channels may be affected and others not)
  • The Tuners in the sky box
  • The input sockets on the Sky box
  • The plugs on the cables
  • The cables themselves
  • The Sockets on the dishes LNB
  • The dishes LNB has gone faulty for the connections the box is using
  • You have plugged your Sky+ box into a dish that is only compatible with Sky Q

Please Note: Sky+ is now a legacy/obsolete service that Sky are replacing with their newer services: Sky Q (all issues will be fixed during a Sky Q install), Sky Glass and Sky Stream

 

You may have to call out a local satellite installer ( at your own expense ), unless you already have Sky Protect insurance, to check/fix your system, another option is to move to Sky Q, as during the move all issues will be resolved as part of the install, there is also the option of Sky Glass or Sky Stream, if you want to move away from satellite TV and use the Internet

@Emzmankee 
No signal and no satellite signal messages are different…

A ”no signal” message tends to be generated from your TV and normally means your TV’s not seeing the Sky box on the relevant HDMI input.

If it’s 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.

▪️following adverse weather wait times for an engineer will probably be significantly longer
