go into your menu and look at your signal strangth meter. Now move ur dish slowly till you get the meter to jump to a high number. To point it try hitting 119* 110* when u do a check switch test it will tell u if u hit it right.
theres no snow and I cant tell if its moved or not,but it keep trying to get a signal steps 0-5 and it got to 1 once but thats it.

MORE DETAIL
You need to give much more details than you have. Like the dish you have; receiver, & location. What type of storm was it? If it had hail it may have damage the dish/LNB setup. If it was just rain & wind then most likely the dish has just turn on the pole. As I said give us more info.

If you have wet, heavy snow, or ice build-up on your dish (even small amounts), you will lose signal. Warm (not hot) water in a Super-soaker can fix this right up. If you live somewhere that normally has heavy winter storms, a dish heater is a wise investment.
