[QUOTE="Yeshi, post: 142170, member: 197299"] Hello, Sorry for the late reply Jumbuck.. Bad news really.. Dish came down, did not take it down myself.. came down on its own :( Anyway dish face was not damaged.. but the back support which is plastic snapped. Its a Channel Master... The pole bent and the back snapped. So i rebuilt it, first i found the missing broken parts, then glued then together to get the back solid i reinforced it with a flexable plastic, had to do this because it is the part that holds the lnb arm.. anyway that set i left it.. now i needed a lnb arm as that snapped.. obtained a gold coloured pole .. measured it to be suitable for my size dish.. As i grinded the bolt notches off i had to create new holes as the old ones would of cracked.. the lnb arm was bolted with 2 bolts.. and the lnb holder hand a new bolt as that was damaged.. Anyway the day before this i concreted the new pole in the garden so it stuck the dish straight on it.. GREAT. I had a signal.. But what is more worrying, i have a better signal now its modified.. and whats even more worrying.. the dish points directly at the tree and the fence.. its about 3ft away from it.. WEIRED.. anyway in the weekend im going to cut back all the obstructions .. this should made the signal spot on :D BTW i have took pictures on digi cam but i cant find the cable to connect to pc.. will find tommoro and post up :) [/QUOTE]
