The actual satellite is too high to reach. I'm sure someone can tell you how far away it actually is. 

I presume you mean the dish. I'm afraid Sky no longer support Sky+ and Sky+HD set ups (where you've posted).

 

You'll need to employ a local satellite engineer at your own expense to;

  • check / realign / repair / replace the dish,
  • repair or replace the LNB if that's the problem
  • check the cables for water ingress. 

If you have Sky Protect cover through Domestic and General Insurance you can call them but a customer previous posted on here stated they wouldn't send an engineer - but they did offer the customer £ 65 towards arranging one themselves.

 

The alternative is contacting Sky to upgrade to Sky Q or change to Glass / Stream.
