Commercial grade dish locked down on one sat,not allowed to move/wiggle/flop around in the breeze.
Just look at all the bracing behind it.
Before I put the braces on my Ku Mount, I was guilty of some occassional "gentle dish prying" by hand
Of all the setups I can only think of one that all three adjustment were set and a check for signal and it came in max! All other times after setting, a tap, bump, wiggle, (bad word), jerk, poke, and then signal! A little tweak and crank down the bolts. A friend of mine watching one time stated with all that precision required he would never make the attempt to set up a farm.
Got a chuckle when I watched that the other nite too! Think it was on Movies or one of those channels.
Some of my dishes are getting adjusted today.. by 60mph winds. Power outages etc. Just hoping I don't have a tree land on any of them!

I'm just glad it isn't 10 deg cooler... Would be quite the blizzard!
Not a good day for antenna/tower work!
Everything still operational here too (so far) except 30w due to all the water in the air. Looks like just over 1/2" rain here so far, but most of it likely blew over the rain gauge. Have to work on an FM array at one of the local radio stations tomorrow, hope the wind dies down!!

WIll have to adjust my 30W antenna just a bit, still getting the Cubavision TP at about 50%, should be 75% or better. It's up on the roof so it's more exposed than the rest. Other TPs are broken up pretty bad. Otherwise the dish farm did fairly well, thanks in no small part by the trees sheltering from the NW. A few dead trees fell or broke off in the yard but not a big deal. They needed to be cut down anyway.
