I will assume there is nothing new blocking your direction of dish.

Sounds like dish elevation to me, going out the further you get from 0.8w

I'm watching 13.0 E now and the signal levels are well down on my usual, it's as if when the dish goes beyond 9.0 E it's out of line.

Make sure the dish is central on the motor stub and your motor is set to your latitude, rest should come natural to you with todays experience.

Nice one so the little blue pill fixes everything even when freezing.
