Nashie, if your picture is failing in bad weather then your dish is not aligned properly. Who fitted it?

Re: Batten down the hatches (it's Hurricane Bawbag)!
If they did it recently, then you need to call them back and complain. A dish that has been securely fixed to your wall and accurately pointed at the correct part of the sky should give you good reception on all Freesat channels at all times, in all weather.
The only issue you might have is they may well try to suggest the dish suffered storm damage thanks to Hurricane Bawbag last Thursday. You need to be very clear with them about it if the disruption was obvious before that.

The first time he came a good few months ago. He said he made it more secure to the wall. I don,t want them to start charging me if I have to call them out again.

Re: Batten down the hatches (it's Hurricane Bawbag)!
I don't know what it's called but some of those gusts are damn scarey. It may be coming in a different direction but it seems to me to be stronger than bawbag. 
Main road bridges all closed (including the Kingston), Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley train stations also closed.
The end is nigh

Worse than bawbag? How about Hurricane Tadger?
It is bad out there, I've never been so glad to be inside and not out and about.

Re: Batten down the hatches (it's Hurricane Bawbag)!
and its gone as quick as it came.
For about 5 minutes I suddenly had massive winds and the rain was hitting the window so hard I thought my glass would break.
Now its calm again.

As in that well known phrase "You can blaw away my bawbag but you'll never blaw my tadger"?
