Twice my dish has been blown slightly off peak. The first time I got up there and straightened it out (i.e. pushed on one side with 1 finger and the signal came back up to where it should be). I checked the bolts and the seemed tight. Well, the 2nd time it happend I went up there prepared. I brought stainless steel wire, turnbuckles and eye bolts. I also found 2 bolts that were loose (the ones that hold it on its horizontal axis). Hopefully even if the wind pushed it a little bit, the cables are tight enough that it should come right back to where it needs to be.
So, I am back up to 95 from ~75. 95 seems to be the best I can do. All is well, but I still haven't run an extra cable to get rid of the diplexers. Maybe without diplexers I can get up to 98 or 99. Hopefully this super peak job will be enough to keep me happy, I hate going up on the roof.
