Don't have Sky, but noticed just about every dish in the street has had a
man up a ladder over the past few days. Has the Sky sat moved orbit? ;-)

Re-alignment due to subsidence in the street?

or perhaps the recent high winds and not properly tighted dishes.

Maybe there is an offer on Sky Q and the LNB is being changed to a Sky
wideband LNB as a result?

Your neighbours appreciate the importance of a clean dish for one's
digital health - if only after a cold call by a person with a lifetime's
experience of persuasive selling?

I had total loss of satellite signal for 4 minutes recently due to rain
fade. This is only the second time in 6 years. Perhaps the same happened
in this area and so many people reported "faults"?

Well, my dish hasn't moved. Apart from with the rotator.

That's what I was wondering. Far too many being worked on for coincidence.

Relative to what? If the wall has moved a few degrees horizontally from
where it was since the dish was aligned then odds are the dish will have
as well (assuming it's attached to the same wall).
Pure speculation on my part, of course.
