    Not really :-( If you can remember roughly what angle it was at, you can try moving it manually and getting someone to shout out to you if the signal strength / quality bars go up any bit in the System Setup menu.

    I've done it but it can require a bit of luck to get the signal locked again.

    Also, you could try:

    and click on Digital Satellite.

    The easiest way is to plug in an analogue receiver a lot of people have them lying around unused from the old Sky analogue system, that way you can just keep moving it around till you get a picture you know is from 28.2 deg East (get your frequency listings of clear channels from http://www.satlist.dk/) Otherwise you'll need a meter to align it properly.
