Wind storm knocked dish out of alignment.. help!

[johnnabither]

So, I live in southwestern Michigan. My zip code is 49038. We just had a pretty nasty storm come through with high winds. It has knocked out satellite out of alignment. We have the Dish Hopper. We have tried rotating it, and can fide Echo star 110 W but not 119 or 121. What gives? Is something wrong with the alignment? Or did the wind do something to the dish itself? I'm not very technical about the dish, but I can try to answer any questions you may have to get this figured out!

I'd first make sure the mount is plumb or level/vertical, as the elevation could be slightly off to start with but once you confirm that its a matter of just turning the dish right to left and locking on. If you have a WA dish its going to pick up 110/119 and 129 not 121. look at the bolt marks on the elevation adjustments and make sure they are still in that area, then turn right to left - have someone stand in front of receiver with say a little FRS radio and yell back at you while you watch say 119 transponder 16 and 110 trans 16 - then check 129 transponder 20.

119 T16 = around 70+
110 T16 = around 70+
120 T20 = around 45+
