Trouble with satellite dish

I've got an old satellite dish I still use but over the last few months the signal has become terrible. There's no rust and the wiring looks OK. Do I need to replace my dish?

"Any trees or shrubbery in line of sight ? Even partially obscuring the dish."

"It may be the dish is out of line or it needs a new lnb, which is the bit on the end of the dish"

"Good morning. The dish may have slightly moved. This can be fixed by realignment of the dish. An other problem can be tres blocking part of the signal . This can be fixed by relocating the dish or trimming the trees.

"Hi there , in my professional opinion. I would look at dish to see if colour has removed from mesh . If the dish is more than 5 years old . I would recommended changing dish , LNB and cabling . All our work comes with 2 year warranty."

"Could be quite a few things. Realignment, cabling or connector issues?"
