I am unable to watch Sky News at certain times of the day, mainly in the mornings.
The signal strength is always between 96 and 100 per cent on this channel, yet the picture and sound often break up, whereas channels with a signal strength of only 57% are perfectly watchable.
The dish is aligned correctly etc.
I at first believed that the problem may be due to the signal being too strong, but when I connect my other dish (which is aimed at Hispasat)
I don't have any problems with any channels on this satellite and the channels are all 100% signal strength.
Any ideas?
Poor reception of Sky News

it's not a vertical/horizontal polarisation problem is it?
Have you tried rotating the LNB in its clamp slightly, have you.
(remember to mark the original position first).
As you say if there's a strong signal on the same frequency, but
with the "other" polarisation, and your LNB isn't perfectly set, then
the stronger signal may leak through and interfere with Sky News.
