    Can anyone recommend a decent Sky engineer please?</p>

    I'm mssing loads of channels from one Sky box, though the second one in the lad's room is fine - so I think it must be the box rather than the dish.</p>

    I wouldn't just assume that I'm afraid. Have you tried swapping them round?

    you pulled the plug and restarted it?
    that usually fixes glitches,
    also swap the boxes to see if its the box or the signal,
    failing that, if it is bolloxed, better just buying a 2nd hander off ebay

    Place on Sheffield Road is decent, called TV & Aerial Centre or something like that.

    I had same problem on mine a few years back, channels are on Horizontal and Vertical polarity, there's a switching unit that adjusts between the 2 so may be this that has gone - I had same thing, he sorted it out. He did say though problem could reoccur and would probably need a reconditioned unit and I was ready for upgrading to Sky+ anyway so that prompted me.
