Better get pulpo back and align again and make sure it won't move in the wind.

Yeah Mike,
Comitan is right. If your subscription went down you would get the " see provider " message on your screen. "Searching for signal " means the dish
moved and lost it. Retry and retry and retry, how well I know. Spend many hours in summer heat on the roof trying to get the so and so lined back up.
Many times so frustrated that, had I had a shotgun, would have peppered it like a California roadsign

I drilled extra holes in the base of the stand for the dish to "spread out" the 1/4" lags I wanted to use. The older dish I have only had a few holes
and only up the middle and it looked and felt a little wobbly after installation.
The dish has now been in the same spot for 12 years, lots of windy days, and no interuption of service.
I know what you mean Vandenburg, it can get a little frustrating!
Haven't had a bad trip yet....
