HWMBO told me yesterday that the Sky satellite TV box was not working. The only thing on the TV screen was "No Satellite Signal being received". I went through all the diagnostic stuff that their website suggested, and none of it worked. I then had the bright idea of going outside and taking a look at the dish, and it seems that the cable from the dish to my TV has been pulled around a bit, perhaps by someone throwing a rock or using a pole. It's hanging off the dish rather than being fastened to it. So I called Sky and, oddly enough, got a very polite person who was helpful and only tried to sell me one thing (a Sky+ box, which is like a TiVo box). I declined politely. He actually wanted me to go to an independent installer, but I told him that I just wanted it fixed, didn't want a service plan, and how much was it. £65 later (he took my credit card details over the phone) we have an appointment for Thursday.

We are now going through Ugly Betty Season 1 DVDs.
