Its well known that in Cyprus after around 6-7pm when the satellite switches to batteries electricity the signal drops down.
Either you will use an HD box to receive the HD channels which are on stronger frequencies or you will get a bigger dish,
or have the dish re-aligned for certain frequencies but loosing signal from others.

its just the way it is for fringe reception , and for satellites running on batteries
