numbers).

CHECK SWITCH SHOWS: CONNECTION PROBLEM.811 Receiver

The hurricane spun the dish around on the pole. I revolved it back.

Welcome aboard, and glad you're well off enough to worry bout TV.

Here's the story - you either take the crash course in dish repair, or you wait until someone can get to you.

1. You've probably got a blown connector - that would be the connection problem - I say that because if the wind "spun the dish" it would ank on the wires pretty good, eh?
2. It would take a lot of luck to "revolve it back" and hit the mark.

So, the question becomes, are you willing to go for it? You might have to buy some stuff. How mch of a handyman are you? Anybody around that can help?

Also, check and see if your pole is still vertical. The wind my have bent the pole or just knocked it out of vertical.
