Lost my signal hung out of the bedroom window , got a dustpan brush to wipe snow off , could only do half so then got a broom to do the rest, hey presto sky sports is back! Not that much football is being played! ( different issue!)
Just in case anyone else ends up reading this, it's not the dish that you need to worry about - it's the LNB (the thing that sticks out of the dish pointing toward the sky with the lump on the end of it). Clear the snow off that and everything should be fine.

But you have to be wearing shorts, otherwise it wont work.
;o)
yep had this , as Leroy says LMB. have mine by one of the top windows, so gently brush the snow off.......
Oh got a free 4 month trial of my lapsed HD on Friday.
Had to make sure, it was without obligation, new contract. Made sure that the sales guy from Sky ( not agent) repeated the verbal offer .
As he was recording it, but I am sure that Sky will try it on in 4 months!. ( probably have to threaten to leave again). And as I have freeview built in not too bothered.! Still watching HD over xmas free on that bastard Murdoch, makes even the tripe they serve up almost watchable. ( enjoy the repeats of Sweeney and Minder though)
Getting snow off the LNB is the right thing to do, but don't forget that the satellite signal won't be able to get through a heavily water-laden atmosphere.
The Sky signal operates in the microwave region and such rays are absorbed by water molecules (that's how a microwave oven works). So when there is heavy rain or the sky is fully clouded over, the satellite signal will struggle to get through.
Next week ... laser-induced fluorescence and its application to high-shear wet granulation processes.

The dish is on the roof, and my flat is in a four floor building, so I ain't going up there to have a look...
Back now though.

Thursday is the last chance before Christmas
I've had to nick the multiroom box from my daughters playroom otherwise we'd have nothing as we don't even have an aerial for
Imagine Christmas with the outlaws with no tv!
