[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 393828, member: 256551"] LOL! Not much point in going 360 degrees, as there aren't any TV sats up at the north pole. I believe the available arc is something like +/- 75 degrees either side of due south (someone else may have a more accurate figure for this) The skew of the lnb does not require adjusting with a motorised setup once setup. This is because as the dish changes its azimuth position, the whole dish also rotates slightly in the x-y plane- the dish is mounted on a the motor stub which is not vertical. LNB skew may need adjusting initially though as skew would have been adjusted for the dish that is level in the x-y plane. Yes Sky Zone 2 dishes are slightly bigger, they are intended for those oop north, as the signal levels are lower the further north you are (UK). By the way, my minidish is a Raven, you may have to do a bit of mechanical fiddling to get other minidish makes to fit on a motor. [/QUOTE]
