Hi everyone. Is anyone else having problems with theit Sky reception? Are you getting a T100 ot T101 message?

After spending over an hour on the phone to Sky, i was advised that due to the hot weather we are having, the Sky dish has cooked itself and needs a part replaced. This is sonething that is happening to others as well.

This is not the first time that we have had issues with Sky. We have had our Sky decoder replaced twice due to the decoder being out of date. We now have to wait for a technician to call us and arrange a timr to fix the problem. And if the issue is found to not be a Sky problem we will be charged for the repair.

Just putting it out to others so you are aware.
