Looking for a recomendation for repair person to fix satellite. Have had no TV since Christmas (you can tell how much I watch it!); one of the storms evidently did some damage. Dublin area.
 
Can't help with a recommendation I'm afraid, but if you're open to a more DIY approach... Is there are any obvious damage? With the strong winds it may just be slightly misaligned, or a cable has come loose. The receiver should have a facility to show signal strength, perhaps someone with a ladder & head for heights (depending on dish location) could realign the dish while someone inside guides using the signal strength indicator?

Alternatively you can buy meters for ~€15-20 that will allow you read signal strength at the dish.
 
thanks Leo, I tried pushing and poking at a few things, I think its cables along side the house. Would prefer to pay someone to fix than faff about to be honest!
