[QUOTE="Le Basseur, post: 424379, member: 264416"] Wod, Thanks for your reply! Again,a little confusion here:unfortunately,I DON'T have a LNB/feedhorn tandem as I bought my ChannelMaster dish second-hand (I think I'm the fourth owner:-DOH2!).The dish came with an ancient Fuba LNC and a modest feedhorn of an unknown provenience.For some reason,the last proved to be defective no matter what I tried (replaced the LNC,tried another dish,etc) so I had to give up and "upgrade" with a MTI LNB. Therefore,it's the LNB's skew angle what I asked about. Anyway,the question remains the same regarding some other specific details,unknown by a newbie like me but well-known to most of the "afficionados" on this board. My dish is located at: 45:33:33:86 North 18:40:03:85 East According to the book,I aimed the "0" (highest elevation) polarmount's position to Astra @19,2E.For other satellites on both curve's ends,do I have to tilt the MTI LNB or can I align it by 90 degrees regarding to Astra's horizontal axis? (I'm aware it might be a "trial-and-error" procedure in order to get the best of it but I sincerely hope that someone else has a more pertinent explanation and experience...simply because my dish's placement makes a PITA any repetitive intervention). Thanks!:) Best regards, Le Basseur [/QUOTE]
