Generally known online as OpenMedia, now working for Red Hat APAC as a Technology Evangelist and Portfolio Architect. Still playing with MythTV and digital media on the side.
SNUFF: I had problems in Stoke, Nelson off and on November/December. I called Sky and they talked me through connecting to another satellite. No more problems. Sorry but I didn't take notice of the new satellite name.
Formerly worked at iStore NZ (Rest in Peace), Sky Network Television, Freeview, Apple, Spark New Zealand Trading Limited, DISH TV Technologies.
Travel Geek: Brazil, Chile, New Caledonia, United States, Fiji, Vanuatu, Australia, Cook Islands
brandonruscoe: I've got a D1, used to run it with Sky Digital, eventually got rid of it and bought a Freeview decoder, over the last week or so like every day at around 3PM it's just no signal, one minute working perfect and it just stops, rescan for channels, nothings there, not even a signal. Pretty random.

Potentially, sun reflection. Although it should effect many others too, check that its not almost directly pointing at the big red sucker.

The sun is shining to the left of the dish but miles away from being directly at it.
UPDATE: Suddenly it's working again.
