Do you live in London, and if so did it rain where you are.?

Its digital tv in general. How can you have a tv system that is reliant on good weather in the UK???

My mate is going back to Virgin because whenever there is bad weather, Sky goes whoosh

I still have no signal on the sky channels and even ITV.

I never had this with Virgin.

At our old house the sun used to cut it out...was fine in the rain though

Why did you swap?

Virgin is way better , so don't miss Sky now and it hardly plays up when it rains decent signal also .

When the signal went down due to the weather battering his dish, they wanted £75 to come out

Theres way better channes on Sky BUT the service is shite on toast.

After being with SKY for 20 years I too am of the same conclusion.... now with Virgin....the V+ is fab SKY vs Virgin = no comparison!!!

I have never had a problem with a Sky Signal because of the weather.
Now seagulls sitting on the dish, that is another story.

I did that a couple of years ago.
There is a solution though but.
Increase the BBC licence by a tenner so that they may get the football.
You can then save anywhere between 40 and 50 GBP per month by cancelling Sky and Virgin.

Simples :squeak:

Remember that was my idea. No stealing it.

Never dealt with Sky. Was a Telewest customer, which then became Virgin Media, and I've had no problems with them ever.
