Having a cable plugged in to the LNB usually helps, but not if you've installed your dish with a palm tree directly in front of it.

She says it slowly got worse and then stopped completely. There was a second dish on Nilesat via a DiSEqC 1.0 so I suppose that's feasible. I think the final nail in the coffin was the DiSEqC switch failing, cutting off any remaining channels from 7W.
