The dish suffering, it needs repairs and reinforcement after the lull.
Today, Repairing. Use of large washers and galvanized wire ties. It seems to be solid! we'll see next time!
I took the opportunity to check that the feed Poty / LNB are in the axis and in the center of the dish. Results, Hey No, not on the center. So I use the old method used many years ago. A pipe installed and blocked on the feed attachment. Perfect now! Next Wednesday, re-installation of the dish.
