That’s a problem with your box, not the satellite. A satellite failure would affect the entire country, not just one postcode, and not just Freesat - Sky customers would notice it too, however it would only affect *some* channels, not all at once, as you are receiving from a number of different satellites to get a full Freesat service.
I have never found Freesat boxes of any brand to be entirely robust. Sometimes they just lock up for no reason, or reboot themselves while you’re trying to watch TV. However I’ve never known one to spontaneously factory-reset so it requires a postcode on restart. That may indicate that your box is on the way out.
