My Direct tv dish took a hit from something this weekend. It bent the top a little and now I can only get about 55% on the signal meter. Made sure the pole is straight and tried adjusting the pointing and still cant get any better. Would that little bend make that much difference or did something happen to the LNB?

Are you checking signal on the 101 satellite? If yes I would think 55% would get you an HD picture if no clouds or trees in the way. I was still getting signal with below 50% after a new roof was installed and the roofers messed up my dish. The LNB arm could also be bent. You can probably find a dish somebody is no longer using just talking to your neighbors.

Yes, a little bend can knock it out of alignment that much.

I ordered a new complete dish setup. This is at my camp, so I dont have many options for TV.
