Seem to have signal problems watching Olympics today

Watching Olympics on BBC and then other programmes on other channels. Pictures sometimes breaks up, other time image freezes but audio continues. This has been on and off all day. I have tried the old switching off and on etc. as per the norm from Sky, but it persists. Now very frustrating.  Getting a little bored of Sky performance having been on Sky Q since its release.

 

its been hot today but no storms so no idea what's going on.

 

any help out there ?

most likely dish alignment - you'll have to call Sky for an engineer to check it or pay for a local firm to do it quicker.

I am just another Sky customer and my views are my own even if you don't like the answers

@LuluGold14 do you have any trees close to you that maybe obstructing the line of sight to the satellite

Hi @LuluGold14 

If it is a satellite misalignment issue;

Work through the following link and if you cannot solve your issue it will lead to booking a Engineer.
Alternately, if you are on a Communal Dish you will need to contact your Landlord or Management company.

Hi Laing1 

 

satellite and us have been in the same place for 10 years. So not sure it's the issue. Could be the recent weather fronts I guess.

Hi @oldfella 

 

Will give it a go but as we have been here 10 years and Sat has never moved, not sure this is the issue. I have an engineer coming out to look at poor wi-fi issues so can also ask them
