Need advice please: My Dish Blew over in a windstorm...

I ve never had problems installing my fta system, found the satellite right away.
However after it fell over twice in a windstorm have been able to tune it at all.
Doesn't appear to be bent up at all but could a slight bend in thelnb arm or a dent in the dish cause it to malfunction?
Thanks in advance!

Shaheed

Should I bother tying to fix it or is a new dish in order? I am However getting the signal to flash between 0 and 20% when trying to lock it in.

A new dish is in order, you are correct. It is almost impossible to straighten out a bent arm or bent dish and make it gather proper signal.
