I'd say your dish is out of alignment, you'll have to realign it yourself if you're not going to pay them

No you can use the signal strength meters on the sky box if you set it up near enough the dish or you can get one of those cheap satellite meters that beep when you are pointing at a satellite. There's loads of guides on this forum if you use search you should find some more advice
