ours here is the same, we have 2 boxes, one has lots of "no signal" channels, the other gets all the channels no problem. They both run off the same dish, so Id suspect that somethings up with the decoder.

actually, try unplugging the thing from the wall for about 5 minutes and then turning it back on, that works sometimes

yeah

it does that when it's too cold/cloudy/rainy/whatever.
It's quite a sensitive piece of kit.

Give Sky customer support a call and theyll explain the "Total Reset" , which should rectify the problem.

I clicked this thread because it has 'Sky' in the title.

I feel cheated now and want my time back.

Obviously he can read as he pointed out the word "Sky" was in the Title.

Or are you too dumb to figure it out?
