Portable Satellite Dish Problems
I have a portable slimline dish that we connect to an HD-DVR. It worked great until it blew over in a wind storm last week. Now, I cannot get any signal whatsoever. The mast is perfectly plum, I have an unobstructed view of the sky (it is set up on my deck just adjacent to my house slimline dish), I have the elevation and tilt set correctly, and have the dish pointed correctly. Before, it could rotate it slightly to fine-tune it and was able to get a great signal very quickly. Since it blew over, I get nothing. Also, there is no apparent damage to the dish or the LNBs from it blowing over. Any suggestions?

The dish is probably warped or bent out of shape, so it can no longer focus the satellite signal properly. Or perhaps the LNB assembly was damaged. Probably time to get a new one.

even though it might not look like there is any damage to the naked eye, any minor malformation to the reflector, would render it useless. time to get another one.
