My Satellite Setup
fixed,polar mount and C band dish.
My Location
south africa
Should i mount my dish upside down(lnb arm at top)will the skew position of the lnb remain the same.
 
Why would you need to do this?

And the skew settings would remain the same as long as the LNB is in the right orientation for the satellites your looking for. (LNB is not mounted up-side-down also)
 
See your is location SA.

Do not know why u want an upside down dish, but fully feasible.

Regards

It is quite common to do so but only in very hot countries that have little or no rain as otherwise the dish will tend to fill with water depending on the sat being received

There is always an exception, if it can be done someone will do it, of course in hot countries which tend to be nearer the equator, the arc is more overhead, hence the dish would be lying on it's back looking straight up, indeed there is a photo somewhere on the forum of someone with just that setup and it rains once per year for which he has drilled a drainhole at the lowest point

The reason I installed it upside down was to keep it lower to the ground. This keeps the neighbours happy as most can't see it from over the fence and it is protected from the wind. I can't see more than 52e and 34w so I had it as low to the ground as possible.

Well aware of that and it does rain in South Africa hence my tip of the drain hole
