Sky tv keeps going off

Hello,

 

My Sky TV has been going off for days now.

I would get only about one hour of tv before it goes off and starts saying - "there is a problem with your satellite".

I am also unable to record any tv as well, its a nightmare.

Check your signal strengths: Services > Settings > Signal

 

The white part of all four bars should be at least half way across.

Sky don't offer support for Sky+ any more as the system is now obsolete. You could enquire about an upgrade to Sky Q, whereupon an engineer would visit you and install a new LNB on your satellite dish and check all cabling. This would require a new contract to be agreed upon. 

If you'd rather stick with Sky+ then you'll need to contact an independent local satellite installer to come and check your dish & cabling.

Re: Sky tv keeps going off

Sorry, my box is Sky Q not Sky +.

Does that make a difference?

...but will likely require an engineer to check your dish/LNB
