How do I Repair a dented Dish?

[DBitowf]

I do not have the cash at the moment to replace my 90cm fta dish. But my neighbors kid managed to toss a rock hard enough at it the it now has a dent in it between 3/4 to 1 inch deep. I'm having reception problems on several channels where i did not before this. Is there a filling compound or anything that can be a TEMP fix for about 1-2 months? Or am i out of luck?

check your alignment a rock hitting the dish that hard maybe knocked out of alignment as for the dent you are most likely looking at a new dish.

Thanks for the reply the alignment was off a little but i fixed that before posting. I was hoping i could fill the dent and sand it in someway because i know it has to be smooth but i didnt want to apply anything to the dish and perhaps make the situation worse. I suppose I'll have to do without the channels that aren't coming until i can replace it.

You have not made that kid responsible for what he/she did?

I would do and make them pay.

That was a dead end street.... unless further damage happens.
