SKY Q - no satellite signal
SKY Q television blanked out last night after intermittent signals showing disruption (weather related?). NO signal today, after re-booting TV and SKY hub.
Notice saying 'No satellite signal' on screen.
System status showing :
Satellite signal unlocked
Signal strength 0
Signal quality 0
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

@IanD12Is this Sky Q or Sky+? Your description sounds like Sky+.

Re: SKY Q - no satellite signal
In that case I've moved your post to the Sky Q board.
If you are 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. 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 mentioning that:
🔹 a misalignment is not necessarily something that will be visible to the naked eye and could only affect one or two channels (amongst the first to be affected may be TNT or GB News),
🔹 wind and rain can affect the satellite signal and following adverse weather wait times for an engineer will probably be significantly longer.
🔹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.

Re: SKY Q - no satellite signal
Thanks to all who replied.
I've been back on to SKY - looks like could be the SKY box. Engineer is coming out to check the dish and box on Thursday.
Cheers.
