1)box could be failing
2)LNB could also be failing
3)the cabling from the dish to the box
4)dish alignment my be out
5)dish could be slightly warped(sp)
6)even a tree maybe blocking the dish
Ok, I can check the connections on the cabling, but beyond that there's not a lot I can do other than change it. Nothing's happened recently to change the dish alignment. There are trees around, but they've always been there and this has only just started getting really bad.

I guess I start by remaking the connections, and then replace the cable if there's still no improvement. Then I change the LNB (that's the bit on the front of the dish yes?). Then I change the box. Then I change the Dish.

Does that sound about right?

Always a little windy here, nothing out of the ordinary though. Nothing that I can think of that could have upset the alignment either.
