joshhill96:Smithy47:kiwifidget: It must be summer as my Sky reception now routinely goes AWOL during the afternoon and early evening (atmospheric conditions, it seems too much sky is a problem for Sky). It did this all last summer too.
Can you use the internet connection to watch "live" Sky for when the dish goes out?
It sounds like you have got one of the 100's of faulty LNB from a few years back (They were the duel LNB's). They leak and fill with water, as they get hot with the sun in the afternoon you get the "Atmospheric Conditions" sign. Once the LNB has cooled down at night normal service is resumed. You need to ring Sky and get it changed and your problem will go away.
An LNB that my grandmother got installed when she first got SKY in 2016 died and fried all the ports back in October, so these LNBs are not the best quality in my opinion, not too sure how this new one would last. Do they still supply the Sharp ones?
Sharp are the standard, unless someone has supplied a crappy lnb or she has had one installed privately and its a shocker OR remembering LNBs are able to fail at any time if a component fails... you know the list goes on. But sharp are the standard.
All 5 types sky use currently.
