Damaged dish

Zororyan — Thu, 25 May 2023 16:27:07 GMT

I got back home couple days ago and I turned on the TV and it said know signal , I went to go out to the dish and noticed it's all bent in half an top and bottom are bent in . The only thing I can think of is the Council gardener on his lawn mower which he sits on . But not too sure how an earth he'd damage it . I've tried bending it back and I can't move it an inch so how would a lawn mower truck damage it . Anyone got any suggestions?

Yes: it's no longer acting as a reflector onto the LNB, and needs replacing.

I suspect you'd find it bends much more easily in that direction than the other.

There will probably be a charge involved. I believe Sky charge around £65 but it may be quicker to look at local options...

@Zororyan Looks like an act of vandalism to me
