I lost channel 512 yesterday morning al, other channels are fine. I've done resets several times and still no luck message on screen just says your skybox isn't getting a satellite signal? Every other channel is fine so I don't understand why just that 1 channel ?

I'm having the same problem? How do I rectify this?
As per the previous replies, you'll need to have your dish alignment checked. There's no longer any engineer support for Sky+ from Sky unless you have Sky Protect, so you would need to engage a local satellite engineer to take a look. Or upgrade to Sky Q.

Re: Loss of channel 512 GB news
Most likely it's the result of a slight dish misalignment. It's quite possible,for only some channels to be affected while others are OK. I suspect you haven't checked every channel available,via your Sky box!

Re: Loss of channel 512 GB news
@Caz09 GB News recently moved to a different transponder that has a wider footprint which may may result in a misaligned dish losing the channel.

GB News is now on the same transponder as:
EarthX TV (180)
CNN HD (506)
Loveworld TV (585)
I know you've checked every channel but just to be sure, are they definitely working? If so your box may have missed GB News moving to a new frequency, and a reboot should fix it.
Personally I would consider the loss of GB News to be a blessing but each to their own!

Re: Loss of channel 512 GB news
Do you have Sky+? If you do Sky no longer deploy an engineer for Sky+ / Sky+HD issues. If your issue needs an engineer they will advise you of this and recommend you change your subscription to Sky Q, Sky Glass or Stream. If it’s a dish issue you will need to contact a local independent satellite engineer to investigate at your own expense. The exception to this is if you already have Sky Protect cover through Domestic and General Insurance whereby you can still contact D&G and request attendance.

Re: Loss of channel 512 GB news
Then I'm afraid you'll need to employ a local satellite firm at your own expense if you want to watch those channels if you don't have Sky Protect cover.
