Aye. It's pretty damn common especially when there's a huge amount of Sky installers don't actually set the dish up properly and just look at whatever direction the rest of the Sky dishes on the street are pointing and point it in the same direction (I've seen them turn up at a road with no Sky dishes installed and ask the home owner which way it should be pointed).
I'm assuming you were using a mini-dish? These are notably bad anywhere northern, and a larger dish probably would have solved your issues.
There's really no reason why you shouldn't get a perfect signal in all but the heaviest of storms, especially given the strength of the signal from Astra.
