You don't think the really bad wind we had over the weekend might have anything to do with it
![]() Your dish has probably gone out of line mate. You will need to get it re-alligned to 26e ![]() ![]() Nano

Thank you for answering. The dish is mounted on 4 inch diameter steel pole and well bolted to a concrete base and has with stood some very strong winds. I will take your advice and re-aline 26E. Can you give me instructions how to do this?

The way I have always got 26E is to first find 28E, then select a transponder that is not on 28E but is on 26E and then edge the dish very slightly westwards, and up just a very tiny amount, for max signal quality on the chosen transponder.
