I’m having intermittent problems where the MySky recorder won’t display (or record) the freeview HD channels – the error shows “No signal.  Atmospheric conditions have temporarily interrupted viewing....”

At the same time all Sky channels and the ‘+1’  (501, etc.)  channels work fine.

In the past, a reset or power cycle appears to have fixed but the problem is appearing more and more often and currently I can’t get rid of it at all.

It’s one of the oiginal MySky Hdi recorders.  The cable from the dish is quite long (20m odd, it was  installed by a Sky contractor), it is also daisychained off a DishTV freeview satellite recorder (I’ve also tried to split it with a DISEQC switch, same result) Signal strength shows about 60-62dB on 3 tuners, and signal quality hovers around 12-13dB.

Any thoughts?  Could this be a signal strength issue?   (It all worked fine for a few years, not sure if there’s anything that could have deteriorated)

(PS, I haven’t yet tried plugging the MySky recorder directly to the cable coming from the dish.  That has appeared pointless to date with it being intermittent, but may be a bit more conclusive now that it seems to be a hard fault.)
