Does anybody else have problems getting a signal from the "Military" channel on Sky. I get nothing whatsoever but yet the box doesn't crash as it normally does if a channel's signal is seriously compromised. There is no disturbed image either, just an absolutely clear screen but the situation is perfectly recoverable, even after a significant delay on that channel, simply by switching to another channel - no need to recycle the box.
Oh dear, there's me hijacking a thread again - sorry!
I second the advice about dish size but would add that quality really does count as well. I had an issue, which turned out to be a duff LNB, and the tech told me that when he saw my 85cm. dish he just knew that he'd never get a good signal out of it. He confessed to having been proved wrong and said that my dish was a star because it gave a signal typical of a 110 or 120cm. one. New LNB and the job was a good 'un!
