My System: Pace TDS470N Sky+ Receiver, Technomate TM-5400CI+ FTA Receiver, Raven Gemini 70cm Mesh Dish with East & West offset LNB brackets, 2 x MTI 0.2db Universal LNBs, MTI 0.2db Universal Quad Output LNB, Eurostar 4x1 DiSEqC Switch, Webro WF100 Cable
LNB Vertical Polarisation Rotation Position

I have now finally got all the kit I need to set up my fixed-dish multi-LNB system

However, after getting the LNBs which are all MTI 0.2db ones, I noticed that the 2 single output LNBs each have a position marker on to indicate which rotation position the LNB should be set to for vertical polarisation (a triangle with a few markings either side). This is no problem as I will set this initially to the top and then adjust the skew as required.

However, the quad output LNB made by the same manufacturer has no such marking on Am I to assume that the vertical polarisation for this LNB is with the long vertical body part of the LNB (with the 4 F-connectors on the bottom) positioned straight up and down vertically?

Thanks,
Gary

I think you are safe to assume that

OK great. I'll start with that and see what happens
