SKY Q static on Sky channels!
Hey All,
lately, I have been noticing a new glitch happening 99.9% on Sky channels like 403, 406 , 512 and so forth.
Basically, live content is showing static white lines or pixelation for 0.3 sec as soon as the picture is displayed. If seem to happen intermittently.
I had Sky Engineer try a new Box , reset my own box and done full troubleshooting on my signal quality and strength which came out flawless but, the problem persists.
Is this a Sky transponder issue on live content or something else?
Thanks

Was the dish alignment checked (fully). The quality and strength on the box is not the full spectrum.

If it was a Sky issue then there would be many posts here for sure...
Have you tried a different TV/HDMI lead to eliminate those?

Yes I have used a new certified HDMI. It can't be HDMI issue as all other channels are working fine except live Sky content.

Was that a 'yes' to the dish alignment check? And different TV? (Or even a different HDMI port)

You hit the nail on the head!
No, that is the one thing that the engineer did not do. I asked that the LNB and dish should be realigned regardless of the numbers on the box.

Dish alignment was not done. I am suspecting the issue could well be alignment despite the diagnostic tools reading positive numbers
