We have been unable to watch TV during the recent cloudy weather. Is this normal? We have a Freesat box and a 1.9m diameter dish. I thought the problem might be dish alignment but it is rock solid and set up by a professional. Even when it is working there are a lot of channels shown on the guide which have no signal. Any advice appreciated.

I have a 1.4m dish and i only have problems when it is really bad thunderstorms as last week and then it only lasts 1/2 hr or so
I have never had problems with cloudy weather
Might need it realigning

1.9m dish should be fine. Just during thunderstorms when the signal can drop out for a bit but not during simple cloudy weather.
We had someone from the sat company to realign ours because channels like Dave and Yesterday (around that area) have disappeared. He said some channels have moved and are no longer available on Freesat and our dish was showing the best signal possible.

Thanks for your replies. I will get the dish re aligned and re scan the Manhattan box.

The other thing is that your LNB might be faulty of have something nesting in it.

Indeed, even a spiders web/nest can significantly reduce the signal
