Jacki:
If you have Sky TV, phone, Sky broadband all in the same contract, then cancelling Sky TV may change the terms for the Sky contract as a whole, and you may have to move to a phone and broadband only contract.
Best speak to Sky and see what they can offer…

MarkP3532- You are on the wrong satellite, probably Astra 1 at 19 east. Thats the problems with simple satellite meters, they say when you are pointing at a satellites, but dont identify which one. From behind the dish, move the dish left and down a bit and try again.

The BBC changed some of its frequencies for some of its regions and other channels on Monday 18th.
BBC3 and about 6 BBC1 rgions were affected.
Do a rescan for the channels and they should appear.

You will not need another dish for each TV / receiver, you just need to replace / upgrade the LNB.
LNBs come with one, two, four or eight outputs, and are designed for the multiple frequencies on each output.

Because sometimes there is a loss in signal when connected to a wallplate, just like the small loss when joining two cables together, especially in weak signal areas like where I am!
