Perhaps this is one way to accomplish that asymmetrical motor offset thing, ie just tilt the pole over to the east, and go through the Arc-Set type alignment, and when done, the motor's zero would end up not being up, but significantly off to the east (I think). In this situation, you couldn't use USALS (unless you do a hard reset on your south sat), but you could use DiseqC1.2, and you would have significantly more travel to the east than to the west.
Obviously not something that anyone would do... simpler to just put up a fixed dish, or do surgery on the motor... but I just thought it interesting that a tilted pole could end up with the same result.
