Sky+ Signal Problems

I have a sky plus box which has been working fine for a couple of years but recently I've had some problems with the recording.

Most of my recordings are showing up as part recorded and when I play them they jump around a lot - as in the audio goes out of sync with the image and jumps forward a few seconds here and there.

Whilst this is happening a blue box comes up on the screen saying 'recording interrupted by loss of signal'.

I've had this problem before and it was was because there were branches in the way of the dish, so this time I've removed any branches that were in the way but it doesn't seem to have helped.

The signal strength and quality are both staying above 50%, so I don't know what else to try. Any thoughts would be most appreciated :)
Never argue with an idiot; they'll bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
