@Cumbrianred 

If it is for a Sky+ box issue (where you have posted) then you will have to get a local company as Sky does not maintain Sky+ boxes anymore. If it is for a Sky Q issue then let us know what the issue is and we can advise you.

@Cumbrianred 

You have posted in the Sky+ board. Do you have Sky+ / Sky+HD?

Sky no longer support Sky+ and Sky+HD. Depending what the issue is you'll need to employ a local satellite engineer at your own expense to check/repair/replace the dish if it's a dish issue.

 

If you have Sky Protect insurance through Domestic and General Insurance you can call them but a recent post suggested they wouldn't send an engineer - but did offer the customer £65 towards arranging one themselves.

 

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

As stated, Sky won't send one if you have Sky+. You'll need to source one locally at your own expense.

 

If you have Sky Q call Sky to arrange one.

Please Note: Sky+ is now a legacy/obsolete service that Sky are replacing with their newer services: Sky Glass, Sky Stream and Sky Q (Satellite TV is approaching end of life so is not a long term solution)

This forum is primarily customer-to-customer help, you're not talking to Sky support.

 

Sky will not send an "engineer" out for a Sky+ system you will have to find your own 3rd party company to assist you or upgrade to a supported Sky service
