Les Nicol. Thank you Les for your comprehensive reply. Even though I am an active pensioner long gone are the days when I would climb a ladder to top of my house. I did however get a young man to get up there and he assures me that all the bolts appear to be in place and secure. He tells me that the dish is pointing directly to the side of a tree that bends in the wind and obscures the gap. So I'm pretty sure my problem is the trees.
My neighbours who have encountered the same problem have since confirmed this.
This leading edge technology that beams high quality pictures into our living rooms from thousands of miles away, but stick a tree in the way and it all goes tits up in the last 25yds! I amazed!

Finally found a local Aerial installer that I knew I could trust to do a good job (from word of mouth and recomendation) and he resited my dish in a position that I hadn't thought of and hey presto it all works great now. Thanks Les you were right, and without your sound advice I wouldn,t have done this.

The satelite dish that is on my house was already there when I moved in. There are a row of high trees immediately behind my house that were trimmed and thinned last year. My dish points through a gap in the trees.
I have used freesat trouble free for over a year, but recently, after the trees came into full leaf, I am getting intermitant freeze frame and picture loss, particularly in windy conditions. Is it likely that the trees are the cause, or should I look for something else?
