This happened to us a few years ago and we had to adjust our satellite dish.
When they changed it to the new format recently we lost our text and interactiveness...had to have a new box, they said there will be lots of malfunctions around this time.

Take your card out..wipe it down your jeans a few times, reinsert....always works for me!!

Been happening to me a lot lately too with the 'no satellite signal' message but it usually comes on again when I do the unplugging etc routine.
There must obviously be a problem though but I hope you get yours sorted soon Tupps.
As someone else said, perhaps taking your card out and re-inserting it might do the trick.
Fingers crossed.

Happened to us,the weather can booger it up.However after an hour we phoned SKY,they did all the on screen test then asked if we wanted a engineer to come out.ÂĢ65.00.Luckily our dish is bolted to the path under the window so we went out and farted about with it,moved it a few inches and Presto! signal back.
If you're not under SKY warranty,a local repair tv/satellite shop will be cheaper than SKY.
thanks katty..
I'm googling like a fiend on those techy forums to get some techy advice... if all that doesn't work then it is time to start on the blower..

they do..
I've already tried the unplug it then plug it back in while pressing the backup button on the box and doing a handstand technique...
My afternoon is just going to fly by..
That's what SKY tell you to do when you phone them up! well not the handstand.

There's a really helpful SKY section on the DS Forum Tupps. Someone there is bound to be able to help.
They've certainly helped me with past problems.

Thanks all. Can let this thread drop now (?)
It's still having a 'moment' so I'm picking the brains of techies and if all else fails having a phone rant at Sky..
Thank you again..
