Rebuffering

While watching satellite content (not streaming content) I often get a rebuffering message. It's a sunny day with no storms around. Any suggestions?

I've had DirecTV for years and it never happened before.

The newer DTV receivers can switch to streaming the channels when you lose the sat signal so make sure you dish is aligned.

Getting rebuffering would suggest it is switching from the satellite signal to streaming as backup (Signal Saver). I would make sure your dish is optimally aligned without anything obstructing view, nothing looks damaged, and nothing is lose that might have been letting water get in. Check inside connections as well, such as coax to the boxes.
