My dad lost his SKY signal over the weekend. When his carer came in this morning she told him some other folk in the area had the same problem, but SKY were not aware of a general signal fault.

We took over an old SKY box today to try to get a picture with that and on the way in noticed the main feed to the dish was disconnected. Thought not much of it until the friend who had put it up told us it would have needed pliers to disconnect it, so obviously vandalism, not just the wind factor.

Because the fault has been fixed there is nothing the police can do, however with so many others affected I wanted to post a warning. If you have any elderly (or not so elderly) relatives in Springpark with SKY problems recently, check out the main feed to the ariel first. It could save you a wee fortune.
