2. even if they were the problem wouldn't some part of the sig get through?
You're pointing at a speck in the sky (that you can't see) that's what, 22,000 miles away ?? As I understand it, there isn't a wide "beam" that's coming down, but a very narrow beam. When aiming the dish, it's literally all or nothing. Once you get a signal, the tiniest adjustment can result in a large increase in signal strength, it's that precise.
