You've posted in the Q part of the forum - do you have Sky+ or Q?

I am just another Sky customer and my views are my own even if you don't like the answers

What are your Signal Strengths/Qualities? Take a look at the link below:

Re: Pixilating sky+ hd

 I looked at this signal strength almost full and signal quality i would say 50 /60 % but then it drops and pixilating occurs. Only happens on itv channels is there a reason for this and a anyway to stop it please?

See question Q23 in my Sky Plus F⋅A⋅Q for No Satellite Signal

 

Signal issues usually indicate an issue with one or more of the following

 

  • The Dish is misaligned (not all transponders are getting through, thus some channels may be affected and others not)
  • The Tuners in the sky box
  • The input sockets on the Sky box
  • The plugs on the cables
  • The cables themselves
  • The Sockets on the dishes LNB
  • The dishes LNB has gone faulty for the connections the box is using
  • You have plugged your Sky+ box into a dish that is only compatible with Sky Q

Please Note: Sky+ is now a legacy/obsolete service that Sky are replacing with their newer services: Sky Glass and/or Sky Stream

 

You may have to call out a local satellite installer ( at your own expense ), unless you already have Sky Protect insurance, to check/fix your system, another option is to move to Sky Glass and/or Sky Stream (self-install, no engineer required)
