Perhaps chucking snowballs at it isn't a good idea.

Its probably the box not the dish, I occasionaly get the no signal message so I reset the box and its fine again

We have Virgin its the new Sky! No probs enjoying the cricket ......well the bronzed blondes in the crowd

 

[seagull_special]

been off all day, would suggest maybe instead of lobbing snowballs you use the dish as a sledge

Is there any snow on the wire's coming out of the box at the end of the dish?

If so, it might have caused one of them to losen out.

I lost signal earlier and was going to do the same thing. Luckily it came back before I could be arsed to go out.

Lost it later last night when it said unplug the box for 1 minute which we did 2 or 3 times with no success but it came on ok this morning.

Try switching it off................






Seriously, if it isn't the snow on the LNB, switch the unit off & back on again after 30 secs. Worked for me this morning after I'd removed the snow off the dish.

Mine had icey snow all over the dish part this morning - once cleared all worked fine.

Apparently when enough snow covers the dish the signal will be lost.Get your broom out and give it a clean it should be ok after that.

 

[wellquickwoody]

Maybe the signal has frozen........

 

[Mr deez]

Yeah mines gone as well..

 

[Papa Lazarou]

And mine also :-(

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Our signal is fine, can't stand watching the cricket with that glorious weather.

 

[Best Foot Forward]

Had the same problem. Brushed the snow off the LNB and all well again

Lost the signals last night in the early hours, it was still off this morning before I came into work. I'd brush off the snow if it weren't for the fact the dish is on the roof, and I don't fancy risking a Rod Hull moment...

Got the snow off our dish and it is working fine at the moment.

I saw Rod Hull's son in panto this year with Emu, Aladdin, in Windsor. Talk about following in the family business, what a nightmare. 'If only my dad had been a plumber, anything, before he fell off that roof...'

To make things worse, the bloke is useless, although with it being panto that doesn't show quite so much. Most of it was so bad it was funny.

Mine gone. No way am I getting on the roof to brush snow off. Missus not happy though.
