    Hi folks, anyone know of any satellite installers in the Ennistymon area who can realign a satellite dish that was blown down recently. When I googled, I could only find people around Ennis who might not want to come down for such a small job

    It's worth a try to give it a go yourself.
    If you can get at the dish and put it up again yourself (I don't know how handy you are, so disregard if not applicable) and point it roughly into the right direction.
    I moved house and hung up the dish at my new house myself, just pointed it into roughly the right direction while keeping an eye on the signal indicator on the telly (you may need a partner for that) and just search the skies in a left-right, up-down pattern.
    For that I set up my sat box and telly at the foot of the ladder and navigated to the Signal test page in settings. I'm sure you can also get an app for your phone that will tell you where to find the satellite in the sky.
    I found my satellite, so no need to call someone.
    If the dish needs repairing/replacing or you wouldn't trust yourself high up on a ladder, fiddling with a dish, disregard what I said.
