[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 743711, member: 175057"] The dish and motor have more than likely moved around the mast. It's easy to check this, simply send the motor to a satellite, then whilst someone is watching the strength and quality measurements on the receiver, gently tip the dish to the left and right, if it improves in one or other direction, loosen the motor clamp on the mast and move it around the mast in that direction, a couple millimetres at a time. When you have the best possible signal, tighten the clamps. If moving side to side produces no improvement, try up and down, but it sounds to me like the whole assembly has moved, or possibly even the dish clamp on the motor stub. [/QUOTE]
