Hi Everyone
Been searching around after having several issues with our HDR 1100S
Random programs not being recorded, planned recordings not in the planning schedule.
After looking around this forum am I correct in thinking that it can be caused by receiving weak HD signals??
Haven't explored this any further but like everyone else recently suffered from the loss of coverage due to atmospherics
Any help advice would be great
Cheers

Assuming you really do have a freesat box, then there is no way that satellite reception can be affected due to atmospheric conditions.
The conditions you refer to were affecting terrestrial Freeview reception, they have no effect on the microwave frequencies you get from a dish.
It's possible that really heavy rain in the lower atmosphere between you dish and the satellite group 22000 mls above the equator just might give you issues for a very short period (generally a misaligned dish or one not large enough for where you are).
HD signals are not any weaker than SD ones. Your problem could have a number of causes.
eg
Dish moved
LNB issue
Water In the coax cables.
First thing to try is remove the power from your Freesat box for 5 mins and restore it.
Post back if that doesn't work as we then need to look at your satellite reception figures in more detail.
Welcome to our forum.
Can the OP confirm he is in the UK or not please.
Thanks for the replies
Yes I'm in UK Midlands
We have the problem with reception again tonight....receiver not receiving or signal too weak
I have a freesat box from a dish....used to have sky
I have made sure all cables connected etc...have powered off etc
We've had this box about 3 years and these problems have only just started. Maybe it's on the way out....

It's most likely a failing lnb or possibly water in the coax downleads.
