Sky channels are freezing, and a message keeps appearing tell me of signal issues
SkyQ is freezing then telling me of signal problems. Started a couple of months ago but has been intermittent until today. Today I cannot watch anything.

Re: Sky channels are freezing, and a message keeps appearing tell me of signal issues
Two possible error messages; no signal and no satellite signal.
If you’re seeing a message displaying ”No signal” it tends to be from your TV not being on the correct input (check the HDMI cable between the Sky Q box and your TV)
Whenever a “no satellite signal” message is displayed, that relates to your Sky Q box, so firstly check that the connections from the Sky dish going into the back of your Sky Q box are still finger tight. Also check out 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.
A misalignment is not necessarily something that will be visible to the naked eye and could only affect one or two channels. If you’re on a communal dish you may initially need to liaise with your landlord or building management company.

It says "No satellite signal". Have checked connections are finger tight, and they are. Will follow that link you sent and see if I can get an engineer out to check dish. Thank you for your prompt response.

Just found the problem. A tree has grown in front of the dish. Will talk to neighbour to seek permission to trim it.
