You can either self-aim the dish when you're stopped, or there are also auto-tracking dishes that keep the signal fairly well locked while you're in motion. The auto-trackers are popular on band tour buses...

You can have to have pretty good alignment, but I've never heard of the sensitivity you described above, except in cases where trees are buildings were obstructing the signal.
