Inconsistent aignal
The signal randomly goes away and then comes back.
Recordings are interrupted so often missing chunks of a programme.
It keeps asking me to restart my box

Re: Inconsistent aignal
What are your signal strengths? Key Services > Settings > Signal on your remote Check thay the white part of all 4 bars is consistently at least half way across (and doesn't dip lower briefly).

Thank you
As far as I'm aware, Sky can't check your signal remotely. You would need to follow Mark's instructions above.
Yes, Sky are keen to move everyone from Sky+HD onto other services, but that doesn't mean you have to if you would rather not.

Re: Inconsistent aignal
Thank you for your help.
He said he was doing something technical in the background.
This is after my complaining that I had been a sky customer for 26 years and was irked that I was told I will get no support because I was using a sky plus box.
In my opinion, they are far superior so I want to continue to use it

Re: Inconsistent aignal
As @oj01 posted, I'm pretty sure Sky can't remotely check your signal. You could post the details here, as I mentioned previously.
Without that it's hard to know whether it's a box issue, though much more likely to be a dish problem. If it's a dish problem, you could engage a local satellite engineer to sort it out for you.

Re: Inconsistent aignal
Hello
All 4 bars on the signal strength are almost full, not quite though.
