[QUOTE="briggsy, post: 47194, member: 180313"] [color=black]Hi, im new here i know very little about sky technology, on Tuesday i was watching most haunted on living TV as usual, and i noticed a poor signal quality as my picture was jumping a bit, it was not to bad so i ignored it. the next morning i had lost 80% of my channels. the working ones where Sky news and BBC and ITV etc. they where a bit jumpy though. so i give sky a call, they give me some stuff to try, (resetting the settings and running the channel search again. to no avail, the woman then said oh it will cost you £65 for an engineer to come out and look at it. I said ill think about it. i dont want to hand over 65qud if i think im getting a raw deal. i have had sky Digital for about 2 years now. never had any problems apart from a few months ago when my sky dish was covered in show :o ;), anyway early this morning i turned the digi box on to see if it had cleared up. Only to find no channels working and it just sticking on "No signal" so I left it for a while and still no signal. i then tried a software update as mention on this forum. It worked fine, afterwards i managed to get some channels back, BBC,ITV,Sky news etc. but still not all my subscription channels. almost 90% of them dont work. im paying something like 40£ a month to watch BBC and ITV! anyway im at a loss to what could be the problem, [/color] [color=black]I checked my signal strength and it was a little bit over 50% and my signal quality is around 60-70%. Yet only a few channels work. i dont understand it anymore. a few of my friends paid for a Sky engineer to fix a similar problem and i dont want to be ripped off too. :( anyone have any idea how to fix this problem or what may help it?[/color] [size=3][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/size] [font=Times New Roman][size=3][/size][/font] [font='Times New Roman']Thank you very much.[/font] [font='Times New Roman'][/font] [font='Times New Roman'];) [/font] [/QUOTE]
