[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 995078, member: 176704"] FWIW Most (all?) actuator/H-2-H mounts do slew the dish as they move from E to W to maximise signal pick-up. OTOH, if a fixed dish is circular, [I]rather than elliptical[/I], and large enough to compensate for the signal lost caused by not skewing it then that "should probably" work. Certainly, on a much smaller dish on a sat with strong signals, skewing the dish itself is not normal, or even possible, but the LNB may be skewed if the "target" sat is not directly South of the dish (Sky LNBs on Zone 1 dishes in the UK, in particular, are a good example, and on my Raven Gemini 90 with the dish aimed at 19E then I do that for 13E & 28E, but the effect is marginal).
