We had the same problem a few days ago, and we also lose the signal temporarily in a downpour as the water can't leave the dish fast enough.
Fully agree on your second point, though.
Oh yeah, I appreciate that. What I mean is though is that you would still be very unlikely to get your signal back while we still have this bad weather and due to the shape and design of the dish snow shouldn't stay on them particularly long.

Never mind, weather permitting less than 24 hours to the real deal.
Do a google on how to get the service engineers menu on your sky box and do a clean up on it. See if that helps.

It's not just you. We have no satelite signal and couldn't watch our recorded stuff either until about 10 minutes ago when it decided to play ball...still not got a signal though!

I think I remember this happening to me once a few years ago. Its a software problem rather than a Sky restriction, as I say, try sorting it out via the Service Engineer menu, providing of course you have tried the oldest trick in the book first, killing the power to it.

Did that a couple of times and it worked evenually.
I'm loath to play with any service menus at the moment as I have about 80% worth of stuff to catch up and I'd be fuming if I lost it!!!
Maybe after Half Term when I've got rid of some!!

Is this due to the weather? Anyonelse with same problem?
Aye another one here who has lost the signal.
