With the Dish500 antenna, or any other antenna with more than one LNB, the tilt is for the dish, not the LNBs. What the Dish500 is doing is pointing at 2 satellites at the same time and so the "tilt" of the dish is to find the elevation midpoint since the two satellites will have differing elevations. For example, Echostar 7 at 119 degrees has an elevation of 26 for my area and Echostar 8.6 at 110 degrees has an elevation of 30. So, by tilting the whole dish assembly you are essentially finding a compromise between these two elevations so the dish can "see" both of them at the same time. Don't confuse this type of "tilt" with LNB tilt or "skew" as they are different things. Circular LNBs do not need a tilt adjustment; this is why the single LNB Dishnetwork dishes are always mounted straight across the horizontal, as you pointed out.
