[QUOTE="jimbo, post: 88515, member: 175309"] I read of a little tweak which goes like this. Using a signal strength meter or watching the strength reading on aTV screen, tune to a transponder which is transmitting H pol and then select V pol (18v) on the meter (or receiver) and turn the LNB in the mount to obtain the weakest signal. Repeat on the opposite pol, i.e. V pol transmitted - tune to H pol and tune to weakest again. I have had the discussion before about offset LNBs and skew. Some need a twist (mine does) but others may have the offset designed into the LNB so can be square on. I think Sky LNBs have the offset built in. I suppose a variable polariser would be best for optimum signal. [/QUOTE]
