How I can get my dish line up for HD channels?

[pintnight]

The wind almost knock my dish off the wall outside. So, I got the dish bolted down tightly! So, I get the dish positioned that I can get all the channels but, HD for HBO, ESPN, etc (I can get Discovery HD but I'm assuming that is coming from a different sat). At one point I got HBO and ESPN HD with some pretty good signal and then I lost it when I tighten the bolts, so I go back and readjust the dish ever so slightly and I can get HBO HD but the signal strength is low and I cannot get ESPN HD.

I gave up right now and might try again when I friends over to help so they can watch the signal strength and such.

This sucks because I was going to watch Sopranos on HBO HD.

First make 110% sure that the mast is plumb and level.

Secondly, post your zip so we can assure that you are using the correct coordinates.

The mast is plumb and level (I just checked it again to respond to the post). The dish is mounted to the side of the house.

My ZIP code is 76021.

SD wasn't the issue and I was able to watch it on SD. But, there's something to be said that I'm paying for HD and I rather get my money out of it by watching HD.

You still have not posted your zip code. Also you didn't mention what type dish you have.

I did post my Zip Code. The dish is a Terk TRK-S26.

I know the Lat and Long is 32.8 and 96.8. I'm going to try again on Saturday but bump it every so carefully every 20 seconds until I see the HD station comes on.
