Yes quite possible if very tall and in line of sight/and or could be faulty cable or lnb also.
You would need to check dishpointer.com to see if its pointing correct way and can use an app on phone also.

ya they are tall trees using new dish cable and lnb the old dish was up long time id say who ever installed it might have been just lucky to get a signal
 
ye will be the trees ha to get an extension pole on mine on the chimney because of trees at the back of the house
 
Might be best reposition your dish
For good clear line off sight
Trees always cause bad signal problems
 
Reading your post again Your correct saying
They where lucky to get a signal When testing
With a sat meter You might recieve a signal
for short period off time Then no signal
Due to the obstruction Been in this position
Myself before In the end moved the dish
 
just move dish so its higher than the trees as if you just find a straight line it will work for a bit but what happens when the branches grow are the wind blows as the will put you back to square one i got some one out to put mine on pole on the chimney only cost £30
