K.R.Dale: Heavy thundery type rain can cause problems with satellite reception and especially so if the dish is not perfectly aligned, therefore you should carry out a signal check using the following procedure:
Press "Services" on your Sky remote control and you will see the main menu with "Options" being highlighted.
2:- Select the "Settings" menu using the right arrow button and press select.
3:- Use the left / right arrows to scroll to "Signal" and press select, the grey bars displayed will show you the strength of the signal being received.
Anything indicated should be a minimum of at least 50% for both the strength and quality although the ideal level is 65 -75% with the quality always leading the strength.
Another possible reason for your problem is by water having entered the "F" connector on the dishes LNB.

We had that only last week. Glad I decided to spend £45 getting a man with test equipment to do it rather than try it myself
He was disparaging about the original installers (Digital TV Help for Disabled/Old users) who had used an indoor fitting. He charged £2 for an outdoor "crimped" connector.

Janet Harriman - that is very odd if they are totally separate systems. Hard to comment without knowing what sort of system and where you are.
Have you asked neighbours?
Or has it resolved?

Andy - as already advised you need and should do nothing unless you want the paid for channels.
I presume the Sky contract is in your ex's name?

Tony: If your bedroom is fitted with a normal coax aerial socket, and with the cable from running down to the living room and connected into the Sky boxes RF1 or RF2 output sockets, then is a normal aerial connected into the Sky boxes "aerial input" socket?.
If not, then do you have a normal aerial connection in the property? as Freeview can only work via a roof or loft mounted aerial.
By the way an aerial that was previously used for analogue reception can also be used for Freeview, as there is no difference whatsoever between them.

Tony - your existing outdoor aerial is good for freeview except in a few cases where different frequencies used.
It may be that the socket in your bedroom connects to the living room if you have two there. Try TV downstairs.
Lena it looks like there is something wrong. Please give some information.
Is TV OK next door?
