As to the satellite loading and that could well be what has happened.
But you have to shell out the bucks if you want to watch much stream-
ing, as they take you to the cleaners.

As to the dish moving, I watch the signal level on it and it is about the
same as it was when they came out and adjusted it after I first moved
in. It will run from 100 units to about 110 units, which I am told is good
signal level, indeed I have a RasPI that I have running with both the
router load screen on one tab and the modem radio data on a second
tab. I watch it while I am setting here doing other things and it seems
to set always about 100.
