    Repairing a dish

    One corner of my dish is a little bent from being knocked over by the win a while back :/ How should I bend it back? It was recommended by another member that I place a towel over the area and then bend it back with plyers so as not to scratch the reflective coating. Would doing this be okay?

    I have an Acoustic Research 50ft. F-connector coax cable hooked up to my dish--or I did. The wind got pretty bad Saturday and blew the dish over onto its side causing the coax to become stripped from the LNB coax connector (even though the dish was weighted with cement blocks :mad:).

    LNB Information

    My friend has an old Sharp LNB that is meant for use by DirecTV dishes in Latin America (lnbshp02 BS1H2SP207M). Does anyone have any information regarding the specs of this LNB (circular or linear, L.O., etc..)? I saw that someone here has the same LNB and posted a picture of it in an earlier...
