[QUOTE="Old Satellite, post: 62042, member: 175277"] Well in actuality both Polorotors and magnetic polarisers are still in use but primarly in the commerical World, prime reason for lack of use to day is cost versus what a customer is willing to pay. If you think of the the cost of a normal sky system and then you start to add more cost for an additional poloriser then most customers simply would object even if the performance was better. One of the best options today is still a Polorotor if you wish minimal loss while acheiving high skew adjustment.However not for a sky set up - could be done but not so simple. The xf 45 ferrorotor is very good normally with a minimal insertion loss ( i still have one in use. And will help to ensure that the skew is optimally aligned, compared with a normal universal lnb. In addition there is a very large oppotunity that you will obstuct the dish I agree with channel hopper the switch may indeed in itself create the same loss. - sure that you can not squeze a 1.2 mtr ?Which reciever do you have? may be an option ?
