Hi the same thing happened to me and it was a cable problem. Check the cables going into your tv and receiver first - if the problem isn't a loose cable, then it might be that water has got into the outside bits - like mine!! Give Danny a call at NuDigital 01273 480353 - he sorted mine out and it didn't cost the earth.

Always worth turning your box off and then on again.

I've been getting intermittent reception problems, but that's common in poor/rainy/cloudy weather. Nothing more than a bit of pixellation occasionally though.

It does sound as if the cable and your receiver have come adrift somehow. I have a gizmo under the stairs which connects the dish to about six outlets and if you knock one of them you'll get a "no signal" warning. Check all your connections and if everything seems to be in place call the engineer who installed your system (after switching it off and on again, natch)

I haven't had any problems. Maybe the dish has been blown out of alignment by the wind. It only needs to move a few mm and it stops working. Easy to realign yourself with a compass and a bit of patience.
