No Signal - Wind moved LNB?

BoysieUK

As i'm sure you are all aware, there were bad storms yesterday across the UK. Is it possible my dish or LNB were moved during the high winds? Been getting a "no signal" since yesterday and wonder if this is something i could fix easily. Is it likely to be this? I've checked all cabling, performed an LNB reset etc.

Not sure if this happens often in high winds / extreme weather and i'd like to avoid paying an engineer if its somethign i could fix easily.

With Arsenal v Tottenham on tonight and a brand new sofa waiting for me, i'll be gutted if this isnt easliy fixable!!

Cheers, any advice would be appreciated.

There's a fair chance that the dish has moved, if it has, then minidishes are quite easy to realign. It is unlikely that it will have moved too much, so nudging it back a small amount at a time will normally produce results.

If there are other dishes you can see while looking at your dish, it will give you a clue where the direction should be.

Don't forget to give the bolts a quick tighten up once you're done, hopefully it'll stop it being blown about in the future...

Thanks for all you help.

Could well be back later on if reallign doesnt work!!!

unfortunately this didnt work. The dish is rock solid and nothing has moved. There was apparently a brief powercut last night as well. Could this have done it?
