Had a big storm and my dish blown completely around up against my house.

Ok, so I check elevation, it looks to be on. So now I am working the azimuth. No matter where I turn this thing it won't change the signal strength. I have been out there turning the damn dish for an hour.

Is it possible that my LMBs were damaged during the storm as well and that is why I am not getting anything? They look to be fine. Any ideas on what to try next? I called Directv and they can't get someone out here until AUG 6th? Are they serious?

The disk is an elliptical thinline dish and I have 3 LMBs in it.

could be that the lnb is bad ... check that the dish arm is not bent at the wrong angle .... # 1 thing in mounting & pointing the dish ... be sure that the pole is plumb to the ground... check your settings ... usually turn too for tt the west & pull back to the south & the first sats you hit is it ...
