[QUOTE="Zorba, post: 168003, member: 176203"] First i find the satellite with a spectrum analyser,then adjust the skew while looking at the spectrum so you can see either the horizontal or vertical spikes,As you twist the lnb clockwise and anti clockwise you see the separate spikes come and go.When one set go away,then the skew is set.then finely move the dish up and down and left and right so the spikes are at their longest.The same when you slide the lnb closer to and further away from dish(for focal distance).If you do have a spectrum analyser,set it for horizontal (18v) and 22khz off and you should see two groups of spikes.The higher frequency are eurobird (and stronger) and the lower frequency(and much shorter) are the 2D bbc itv spikes. Then i connect my digital sat meter so that i can input a chosen frequency so that i can maximise it .Over here 12.205v sky news is the strongest so do that first then go for a weakish like 11.778v.Then go for a 2D frequency like 10.774h for bbc.
