It should be mounted with a clear line of sight to the satellite in the sky. If your house is surrounded by very high trees, it might not be possible to install satellite TV. We suggest you speak to a professional about the best installation for your needs.</p> </div> <span><span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span>25 October 2019</span> Fri, 25 Oct 2019 18:05:03 +0000 Anonymous 5459 at http://bbc-reception.local http://bbc-reception.local/questions/freesat-sky/why-am-i-getting-the-wrong-regional-news-on-sky <span>Why am I receiving the wrong regional news?</span> <div class="field--name-body"><p style="margin-bottom:11px"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">The regional news you receive is determined by your postcode.

This occurrence can temporarily affect all television services transmitted via satellite. Typically, sun outages are predictable, and we will notify viewers through our <a href="/reception/works-warnings">Works and Warning pages</a> when one is expected that may impact our satellite services.</p></div> <span><span lang="" about="http://bbc-reception.local/user/93" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">Jane.Frydenlund</span></span> <span>12 August 2025</span> Tue, 12 Aug 2025 13:21:35 +0000 Jane.Frydenlund 14532 at http://bbc-reception.local
