Our setup is not affected by weather

Utter 'dangle berries'

Is that what Uncle R says the drones must say? I would have thought the technical teams should know better (although know you don't deal with that side of things).

All RF signals are affected by atmospherics.

It's been installed since 2009, never lost picture. Ever.

So what you are saying is that you are unaware that its affected by different weather conditions. NOT that it isn't affected.

I agree, bigyins hasn't been installed very well by Uncle R's useless contractors (even their biggest fan realises that the installers are piss poor - partly due to Uncle R), as his seems to be regularly affected by weather.

Mine was badly affected, but then it was mounted on a rotten wooden facia, and we were always "finely tuning" it with a broom handle when the atmospherics played it up.

That's the trouble... Took 3 attempts to get mine installed in the first place Now I've just got to move it as the trees have now grown to the point they are interfering again

It's now moving to a 10' (possibly more) pole in the garden to get clear line of sight

No doubt you would all moan if Virgin did arrive, as they would have to dig up all the roads!

They only dig a small trench, they don't resurface the whole road 

They would also have to dig one right up to the house, many with bricked driveways and such tell them to sod off!

well we got heavy rain ,and guess what no picture . phoned sky about it two weeks ago , they said if they book a call out for it i would have to pay for it. i told them its been like it since i had hd put in by them , it should be free , no joy .

I had exactly the same problem. When it rained, I lost my signal. I rang sky and they sent a nice man called Steve to put up a new, bigger dish and new LNB.
I guess it's how you ask.

PS, He also left me his mob number in case I had any further probs within thirty days.
