Well thats a first .....
« on: 25 January 2013, 23:02:00 »

Sky dish lost signal. First thought was the HEAVY snow fall we have at the moment

Then Tunnie's voice (well a voice wiv a suvern aksent) came into my head saying "it's nat de snaw mate if yur dish is lined up ok" so I went outside to look if there was some on the dish itself.

The snow had built up on the LNB arm that much- about 2 inch or 5cm - it was completely blocking it.

Knocked if off with a brush and all ok  :y

Thanks Tunnie  ;D ;D ;D

Yep, aligned or not, an inch or two of snow on the face of the LNB and you've had it.

We had this problem a week or so ago. A quick blast with my new pressure washer soon restored the picture. :y :y
