So, I come home today and flip on the TV.. nothing... signal strength - 0... flip some more and nothing is coming in.. whats up now?!
Nothing seems to be out of place inside, so I go out back.. WHAT THE!?!? It "appears" that the neighbor was using his tractor to do a little leaf gathering and got a bit close.. completely knocked over my 36" dish (pole folded over, and dish looks to be a bit bent), ripped out some wiring, and knocked off one of the primestar dishes.
So it looks like I'm going to have to replace at least one dish, maybe two poles (more digging and cement pouring.. yippee!), and do some rewiring... with my luck, the motor probably got knackered up and the lnb and is in the dirt now is probably damaged.. what a nice evening. And of course the neighbor is no where to be found (conveniently all of the leaves are gone up to where the damage is.. *sigh*)
