Re: Can't skew a round dish

As earlier suggested and also by s2byus, get yourself either an older Dish 500 that way that dish can be skewed and you can use the existing LNB ie DPPlus.

Or get 2 Legacy Circular LNBs and connect one to the arm which will be 119 and the other strap it to the right of the 119 (looking at it from behind the dish, about 1" lower for your area and once you have 119 located and maximized for Q, then keep moving the 110 LNB up or down to maximize it's Q reading and tighten the clamp to keep it in place.

Your Co-ordinates are:

Elevation - 31.9 deg.
Azimuth (Magnetic) - 228.2 Deg (Using the compass)
Skew if possible - 60.9 or 119 deg Clockwise looking from behind.

Good luck.
