[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1148963, member: 176704"] You don't have to take it all down again, but you [B]will[/B] have to, stage-by-stage, reset the pole->motor, then the motor->dish settings, back to where they were before you took it all down! Even [I]very[/I] small deviations from the original and relatively correct settings could result in "no signal" - so RECHECK those settings very carefully! Also make sure all the electrical connections don't have any breaks and are clean & tight. Edited: PS: as far as the skew angle is concerned, the lnb generally does have to sit vertically w.r.t. the feedarm (but obviously only when the dish is pointing at 0 deg!) for [I]most [/I]sats and that changes as the dish goes to the other sats, [I]but some of those other sats have differing skew requirements![/I] Therefore, unless you invest in some sort of skew-adjustment-by-satellite system (very expensive/complex!), you have to accept that the skew angle will not be optimum for [B]all [/B]the sats!
