Contact Sky and tell them you are thinking of cancelling your contract due to' too many service interuptions (don't mention to much about the weather ) simply state that you keep losing the signal and point out that you have been on Sky for so long.
You will probably find that they will arrange for a completely free service for you as they do not want to lose custom.

This happens to everyone. The signal cannot penetrate heavy rain I'm afraid.
Another thing which happens is: if your picture fails at about the same time most evenings (9-10pm), then you require a new LNB or your dish needs realigning.
9-10pm is when the Astra satelite moves into the Earth's shadow and goes onto storage battery power. This means the signal strength is cut down to conserve the batteries and anyone with a lnb which is not at 100% efficiency will lose the picture more easily.

Well, I don't know the science behind it, but it is very annoying.
Especially when the program I want to watch goes off and I get fuzzy signals. And then thay annoying sky message saying they currently can't find a signal. Gurrr.
Hope the storms stop soon, so I can catch the repeat !!

While the satellite signal can penetrate cloud and light rain, really thick storm clouds with heavy rain block out the signal completely. Fortunately, this type of weather only occurs a few times a year and only for a short time. If it is happening more frequently your dish probably needs re-alignment.

sounds like it presently!! We have been threatened with an(different) develop some years back and that i phoned and decrease back on the equipment we had on the time, which delivered the fee back to what we'd been paying. regrettably we are approximately as 'minimum' as i % now, without being decreased to the main important Channels (lol) so with next develop (next month i think of) of £a million. in step with month will must be absorbed. effective one Sky - our Pension is going up by making use of the fee of a Mars Bar, and wager what, Sky, and each little thing else is going up by making use of an identical quantity = we are out of pocket and enjoying capture-up, back (or watching reducing each and every thing to the bare necessities, just to maintain up.

Weather always affects satellite or over the air antennas, because the weather interrupts the signal.

ur geo stationery satelite is over 20 thousand miles above ground.storms in the clouds,heavy rain can temporarily stop the signals from getting to ur dish and therefore the interferance

its called " atmospheric interference ". any form of static ( lighting, clouds " rubbing " together will give you this.
Here's not much you can really do about it, unless you control the weather.
