Have to move dish on roof.
Due to construction and interference, I have to move my dish further up the roof about 5 feet. I measured and put it in the same orientation as it was but now I seem to have lost alighment with the ...
Never move a satellite dish without first contacting the company responsible for the dish.
The best information I can give you for that is to navigate to the Advanced page of your HT2000w, click Installation, then click Install, and do a Re-Install... That is the only way to get "real-time" numbers, which are still delayed by just a few seconds.
However, I highly suggest not doing this... Whether you point at the right satellite to get a signal is up in the air. Even if you manage to point at the right one, if you mess up your LAT/LONG entries, or if your HT2000w was setup with a beam over-ride then it still wont work. There are also SBC Config files that *might* need updating on your terminal that only a technician can do.
However, I would plead right to repair, although we are leasing the equipment. We were prepared to pay the service fee to get back online if I couldn't get it, but considering we had some problems communicating with the service people (one I think never got back to us) and I got it to work, it saved some money. It's also a temporary solution for us, as we will be switching to a more permanent one soon.
It would definitely be dumb for some people to attempt it; I almost couldn't figure it out, but hey, I know how now. Kind of fun to set up communication with a satellite.

You would still be in violation of the agreement. It's good you're prepared to deal with the consequences.
