Satellite engineer?

Now I'm no expert, but we've got a large tree which is filling out nicely on the south side of our house, just to the west of our satellite dish. Consequently, every time it rains or is windy, the tree moves around and cuts off the high channels on our Dish network. So I went out with a ladder and a ratchet wrench today to see if I could make it any better. In the end, we jigged the dish about 0.5° to the east, and 1.5° up and added 10% to the signal strength for sats 110 and 119.
10% improvement for 10 minutes up a ladder? Sweet.
Hopefully now when it gets windy, the signal will drop but not enough to cut the channels off. I've also tagged the offending branch, and if we're still having trouble after autumn, the tree people will be coming to fettle that branch and thin it out ......
