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.

Maybe that's it. I do have several trees that are in the area of the signal. That's pretty cool about the self aimers. So for my information, how large is the "target" normally. I have no margin of error where I have the dish right now.
