Could this be true?

It seems as though I am getting better strength during daylight hours than at night. I am on the edge of a spotbeam getting about 40-50 strength. During the day I rarely lose any locals. However, when watching the same station at night, starting about 8:00 I lose signal for a second or two about every minute. Could it actually have anything to do with day/night? Can I try to peak my dish specifically at that spotbeam to try and get that extra little bit I apparently need? Thanks for any thoughts!

Easily TRUE you are on the edge of reception and a satellite is not perfectly stable it has a wobble that is known. For you it is visible as a day/night signal fluctuation, you can try peaking on that spotbeam but more than likely you will need a bigger dish to capture more signal at night.
