Sky Television...any engineers out there

My Television has gone off...no satelite signal being recieved...done all Sky tests they said I need the engineer to adjust dish....he can't come until Tuesday...anyone know anyone who could help me...Chrissie with no Tele...lol...nightmare and there is a 4 year old in the house.

corky, theres another post on here tonight about this,,,looks like the snow is causing the problem?

corks, just pm'd you

had the same problem 2 years ago at the same time.
xmas without sky!
took a gamble that it was the lnb, bought one down city road (10£)and was just a straight swap with existing lnb.
just a ladder and small spanner to change.
may be dodgy in this weather though.

Yes, there is definitely a problem with snow settling on the satellite. That's all you need Corky is a very long stick to brush the snow off the orbiting space object and the job is a good un.

I tell you what I'm full of solutions tonight.

Bejesus you will need a friggin long pole to brush the satellite But seriously that sounds a con for an engineer to adjust your dish. It is easier to adjust a satellite dish than a normal Ariel. I used to sell them for a bit when sky first came out and we used to go down Eastville market in Bristol and just shoved a dish on the end of a pole pointed it in the right direction and bingo a first class picture. These engineers with there instruments to put the dish in an exact position is first class bull shit.

my mate`s neighbour is a sat `engineer` , been charging customers £60 a shot(£40 callout, £20 to move snow off dish) for the last 2 weeks ! wanker

LUCKILY MY DISH IS ONLY ABOUT 7 FOOT OF THE GROUND HAPPY DAYS

They are not the only ones making a killing. Gas engineers are out in force fixing peoples boilers. The massive task of pouring hot water over the outlet pipe to defrost it is a very technical task requiring years of training.
