[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 850118, member: 323322"] Just to clarify - the main point of this exercise is to correctly cater for the Elevation of the offset Bird - it's just that the physical act of doing so is akin to setting skew for a single LNB dish. The difference in theoretical skew itself is trivial when compared with the effect of overshooting (or undershooting) the required Elevation for the offset Satellite. ie For a single LNB dish, Elevation alignment is achieved by raising/lowering the dish bracket but for a dish with a Monoblock, Elevation alignment for the offset Satellite is achieved by rotation of the Monoblock (There's no other way of doing it). The likely reason why your Hotbird results are iffy is because, with the Monoblock level, you are effectively trying to receive it using the same Elevation as for Astra 1 - which won't work very well!
