Re: Colin
So we can move to the more appropriate community section, as you have posted in Accessibility.
Do you have a Sky+ or Sky Q box?
Sky Stream with two pucks (Former Sky Q and Sky+ customer), Sky Ultrafast + using Sky SR203 hub. Sky Protect kit tester.
My good journey to Sky Stream from Sky Q. Click here to read

Re: Colin
If you have Sky Q
If you’re seeing a “no satellite signal” message check that the connections from the Sky dish going into the back of your Sky Q box are still finger tight. Otherwise it’s very likely a dish misalignment so check the troubleshooting on this link
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-tv-no-satellite-signal-sky-q
It may then give you the opportunity to arrange an engineer to check the alignment of your dish. If it doesn’t you’ll need to contact Sky to book an engineer appointment.
If you are connected to a communal dish you need to liaise directly with your building management company / landlord who will have their approved engineers to contact.
It’s worth noting that:
1 - a misalignment is not necessarily something that will be visible to the naked eye and could only affect one or two channels
2 - a Sky Q box requires a periodic 'Keep alive' signal that is delivered via the satellite so if that isn’t received the box will close down until the satellite signal is restored.
3 - due to the recent storms there’s still likely to be a significant delay in getting an appointment so it may be quicker to contact a local satellite company but that would be at your own expense.

If you have Sky+
Although Sky themselves no longer support Sky+ and Sky+HD, if you have Sky Protect through Domestic and General Insurance you can call them otherwise you'll need to employ a local satellite engineer at your own expense to check it (or upgrade to Sky Q or change to Glass / Stream).

You will need to book an engineer. You can do that by contacting Sky.
Contact information for Sky is difficult to get to. So someone put the information here:
https://viewersvault.com/Contact_information_for_Sky_(United_Kingdom_%26_Ireland)
Services I use on Sky:
- Sky Q in Ireland:
- ︎Sky Signature, Sky Cinema, Sky HD, Paramount+, Discovery+ (Standard)
- Sky Ultrafast Max (Fibre Internet)
- Sky Talk (VoIP)
- Sky Mobile
- Disney+
Please treat everyone with respect. 🙂

Re: Colin
This forum is primarily customer-to-customer help, you cannot book over the forum, you'll need to phone
A phone number is given on a link on the page linked to below (click on the "Need more help?" drop down):

Re: Colin
Presumably you have Sky Q then, otherwise you'd be contacting an independent company?
