Signal reception problem on about a dozen channels

A rude DirecTV technician came by and told me that I need to fell two trees to correct the problem. He suggested that the signal comes from straight above the angled Dish rather than from the SW and therefore I need to arrange to have two trees taken out for a cool $1000.  Can someone demonstr
