thats what i'm thinking mate, its not like theyve grown 20foot overnight!

It could be due to atmospheric conditions - perhaps the signal is a little too weak at the moment, and the problem is compounded by the trees.

 

But maybe it's nothing to do with the trees at all. Have a look here Satellite Finder / Dish Alignment Calculator with Google Maps | DishPointer.com and put your next door but one neighbours address, and you will be able to find out if your trees are a problem or not.

We had this.Our neighbours leylandi was only six foot from the side of the house, however, it made no impact on satelite signal when we had it installed.A couple of years down the line it started to effect it and i moved the dish further up the gable end which improved things for a while.The tree hadnt grown significantly during this period but reception was often poor.Especially if it was windy. I assumed it was the tree blowing about.

I did mention to the old boy about the tree and he had it pruned.It didnt seem to make much difference.

We upgraded our sky package, which needed a new dish and LNB.The reception changed just like that and the engineer said the tree wasnt effecting it, but said it might in a few years.The old LNB was in poor shape, accounting for the bad reception.

Funnily enough, a few years later my mrs mentioned that the old boy next door was messing about the tree with a bowsaw.I stuck my head over for a chat, and he said he`d decided to have the tree out, but it was going to cost.

I was round like a shot and had it all out.Didnt charge him either.
