Just reading this thread (and in particular, looking at the previous post...) got me thinking a couple of things here.
I had Sky Digital installed around the same time as Mark did; which was around the turn of the millennium. I found one day, I'd lost a lot of channels ('No signal' message...) and the situation remained for days, so I contacted my landlord and got him to report it. The visiting engineer replaced the dish and told me he and his colleges had spent recent weeks installing replacements for many customers as a lot of the early dishes had LNBs that had proved faulty, in a short space of time. I'd had my installation around 6 months by then, which meant fortunately, I didn't have to fork out for a new dish or the visit, as it was still under the 12-month contract (free box & dish, as long as you stay for 1 year.)
A friend is having similar issues; she is saying that her Digibox is probably to blame, as channels 'come and go' (only very occasionally though) but I think that it's FAR more likely to be the LNB, or the dish needs re-alignment OR possibly the feeder cable... (?)
