Do The Dance Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Sky want paid for the call out. Was it moved in the wind? I had them out 3 or 4 times beginning of the year, never charged me anything - bloody hassle though. Threaten to cancel on the back of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neobis Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Yes the wind or a bloody big pidgeon I reckon. As it is already not working have you tried just moving it a little yourself? Cant do any damage as it is already offline. Sometimes my dish shifts a fraction in very high winds and I lose the signal, I get the ladders out and move it a little, always seems to work for me.

Thanks Jamie jamie, if the dish isn't too far off the ground, get yourself a cheap sat. alignment meter. piece of p!ss to use. my hotbird/astra19 dish is forever getting dunted, takes 5 mins to fix (its at ground level mind you ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helzibob Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Point it in the same direction as the other dishes round about. This is what we did. Just looked at the neighbours, had someone inside who shouted when the signal was working again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
