dish problem

Recently, a gust of wind blew down my 36" fortec star dish bending the bar that holds the lnb.how would u go about fixing this? Is it junk now? Is their a way to bend the bar back to where it will function properly?

That's going to be really hard to fix and get the arm straight so that the LNB is properly focused. I would scrap the dish.

I was fooling around trying to bend it back to where its supposed to be and i am getting signal on most of the satellites i used to aim at.Now, my question is, if u take the arm of the dish and look at it like it was the shapeof a letter V how many inches should it be from tip to tip. how else can i check if i'm getting the right angle?

Contact the dish manufacturer for construction details.
