A Secluded Beach In, Fl.
I guess I can't realign it myself? I live one mile down the beach from Mexico Beach Fl. Need I say more.


I've been through hell in my 65 years but nothing prepared me for that. I had all the shutters on and I kept the one in my living room half open, The last we heard at 9;30 am when the Power went out, The storm was only a class 3, so as I heard the wind get stronger and stronger I was a little worried and looking out the window I saw my mailbox head down the street toward the water. and a half hour later it was going the other way down the road about 80 mph. Never to be found..lol As I was leaning on the window sill I could feel the walls breathing like your chest would. About a hour later I couldn't see the grass in my front yard 8 feet away. And the Sound was so loud I couldn't hear my wife telling me to get away from the windows. No power for 15 days water for 9 but that lasted for 2 days but it's back now. I lost some shingles from one half of my house but it was the wives bedroom and the mother-in-law suite. lol
 
Glad you were safe through that storm, life altering event.

With things getting back up, have you called DirecTV, curious how they are handling service in hard hit areas. Hopefull6 they brought in resources to help.

The east and west settings are probably off.

If you get a 1/2 wrench and loosen the 2 back bolts and swing the dish from east to west you will likely be able to find a signal.

It’s unlikely the elevation changes
 
If debris hit it, it could be bent. If so - even by so little you can't see it - there's nothing to do but replace it.

Thanks guys I'll give it a try this am.
You want me to loosen the 3 bolts on the shaft and turn it right to left?

Glad your Ok.

IF your dish is intact, and you have power ...
Yes you should be
You can see the damage it did to my CM 3020 Antenna and Mast. By the way is there any way I can watch ESPN on line from D*?
You should be able to watch ALL your D* channels on the computer as long as you have signed up for a D* account.
