PaulT Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 About to replace a single LNB with an Octo. Read somewhere that an LNB should be skewed - by how much and is it that vital? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Depends on which satellite you want to look at and where you are on the earths surface. If you have an Android phone then you might like to try the free download Satellite Director which will work it all out using the phones GPS. Place the phone in line with the LNB and simply turn the whole lot toll the line on the screen matches up and your done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Broadly you will receive the strongest signals withoutskewing the LNB but will not receive the weakest and all signals will be betterif you do.http://www.satpointer.com/29.5 or 29.2 for UK TV. As a slight complication some LNBs are pre skewed/twistedIt is worth doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 If the current LNB is getting all the channels you require then why not just make a note of the skew of your current one and make the new one the same?Mine is twisted to the right roughly about "5-past the hour" when looking into the dish from the front. Does that make sense to you? [geek] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
