I was wondering the same.I put a new solid dish up the other day ,and was expecting the worst.My dish is flapping on the motor a bit.But still lined up ok.

All 5 dishes appeared to have survived when I peered out of the windows this morning and still pointing in roughly the right directions. Wouldnt be at all surprised if the alignments are off though as it was hellish wild up here last night.

Looks like I got lucky, only took 5 minutes to re-set. Moved the dish/motor assembly on pole till I picked up 28E, tightened bolts, and to my surprise it picked up 42E and 30W straight away.
