Signal problems

[Tally]

Any help,
I seem to have lost signal quality since the recent heavy winds in South Manchester about 2 weeks ago. I can still get 19e and 13e signals good but have lost about 10% quality since before the winds, have lost 16e digitalb completly but still get ***** and shiqptar channels, have been quoted over £100 pounds for realignment which will clearly be a 10 minute job. Question is could I do it myself without a sat meter?
Also I can move dish east and west to fine tune but still no good so I think dish has shifted elevation does this sound right,

I too found my motor and dish had moved , so have looked into other solutions for the main sats , as recorded in the dish and lnb discussion forums here

if you get your sat box and tv near the dish and connect up , you can use the box to realign the dish , but it is time consuming but can be done if you persevere

the main thing is to check your pole is perfectly vertical using a spirit level

then set 1 west up ( bbc world )

then set 28 east and 30 west , checking 1 west each time to ensure you get the arc

then check 42 east and 43 west or 45 west , again checking 1 west is ok

eventually you should get the arc if no damage has been done , and so check all major sats on the arc

otherwise its pay someone to do it for you , and I dont think it will be a 10 minute job m8 , I spent over 5 hours trying to do this a couple of weeks ago and gave up in the end as its too cold etc

Wow thought maybe it would be quite straight forward, thanks for the info mate, think will wait a couple of weeks till it gets warmer then give it a try,
