Yep ,will do.
Probably be in a few weeks though , given the reliabilty of my mate sometimes
Tomorrow I'll just swing the mount back round and see what I get.
I've been out to have a look and it's just parked itself against the wall.
Doesn't seem to be any damage done. phew

Think it's because the winds are more westerly than usual so I've parked the dish at 13E so the wind cuts across it instead of into it . I'll have to thank satsid for giving me that tip

Hi Sid,
I've been out for a few hours, left my dish pointed at 13E, just switched it back on and, to my amazement, it hasn't moved an inch Oh happy day's

Cheers,
Kev

Howdy, hangover is not too bad and her indoors is still talking to me, so it was a good night
I've just swung my motor back round and am back up and running with a 76% signal on astra.
No damage done to the dish thank goodness, but same can't be said about my car-port roof. It's lying all over the neighbour's garden. ops:
I was hoping to get to the summer before putting a new one up. bugger :spite:

Slight movement on my 13e & 16e dish but other than that everything is ok.

Lost a few channels on 16e and down about 10% signal on 13e

19.e and 28.2 are still perfect which is more than can be said for my head at the moment :-X

I lost all the satellites overnight, have managed to get 28 east back using the motor positioner just waiting on my son coming over and will try to coax him up a ladder.

19E is off line slightly,
13E seems to have survived although will need its alignment tweaking as the signal drops when it rains
28E survived ok
16E ok
5E ok
