I am getting new shingles on the house this week and wanted to get an idea how difficult it is to get the 5LNB HD dish repointed compared to the older dual LNB oval one?

Is it way harder? On the old dish the installer used the cheap VU meter type sat finder. I noticed with the 5LNB they were using a Birdog.

Thanks!

If you don't disturb the adjustments (tilt & elevation) on the dish itself, then all you would need to do is make sure the mast is perfectly plumb when it's put back. Then all you should need to do is adjust the azimuth. Use a compass before moving it to find the azimuth, then you can aim it fairly close when it goes up again.
