Hi,

I am an idiot.

During heavy snow on Monday we got the message, could not reach with a brush but using a rather long stick managed to remove snow from and signal returned.

1 hour later got the same message, more snow had stuck to the dish, so this time I gently tapped the rear of the dish with said stick to dislodge the snow, this worked but for some reason the bracket which holds the LNB to the dish snapped(could have been the cold plus the trauma of dish being struck).

I went up ladder and replaced the bracket last night and cleaned the dish but still no signal.

All connections seem to be intact and tight, any advice for a stupid bloke who should not hit things with sticks?

Thanks Dave,

I have no Strengh or at all, juast empty bars.

The is pretty tight so to go from 80% to zero seems strange.

Could moisture have affected the ports on LNB?

I haven't taken the down, the snapped bracket was the one between the LNB and the steel arm, I replaced that in situ.

I honestly don't think the dish has moved much(if at all) thats why I think it could be something else.

Thanks for your your advice.
