If it was working, and isn't now, is it possible that the dish has been moved by recent strong winds?

If it has, you will probably be able to reset it yourself (with a bit of assistance).

Get a helper to sit in front of your telly watching the signal strength/quality meters in the setup section of the digibox's menu. Then, provided you can reach it safely, "wiggle" the dish slightly left and right, up and down, and get your helper to tell you when the strength/quality rises, and when it falls.

You'll soon get an idea where it should be, and if the wind was enough to put it out in the first place, you should be able to push it back with your hand.

I was half expecting greasemonkey to tell you exactly what MY your Sky dish is

Is there anything you don't know about, Mr greasemonkey?
