[QUOTE="femto, post: 893580, member: 198355"] I had my ground mounted Gibertini 1m dish messed with a while ago and I'm just getting stuck into re-aligning it. Basically, whilst I was away for the weekend, some teenage scrotes that must have been out getting wasted came wandering up my street and one of them (wearing a fancy dress sailor's hat!!) spotted the dish and thought it'd be hilarious to walk over, crouch down, grab the bottom edge of the dish and wrench it up and around. I came back home and thought it looked odd, so I checked my CCTV recordings and found what I describe above. Anyway, it's on a polar mount and after some investigation, the elevation setting of the actual dish hasn't slipped, just the polar mount's pole clamp and elevation settings have slipped. So, my question is this: My receiver/positioner is still set to the satellite it was set to before the drunken sailor arrived (Hotbird 13°E), so could I just loosen the polar mount's clamps and get it peaked up on 13°E and everything else will fall into place, or must I start from scratch?
