LNBF skew

I am very new to FTA. I just ordered my system from here this evening. I have been looking at the installation instructions. I have installed several Dish Net and Direct dishes so I am certain I can install this without any problems.

The only thing I cannot resolve at this time is the LNBF skew. I ordered the motorized system with the Classic STB. I have assumed that this can be used to look at several different FTA birds, but, how do you relsove the skew of the LNBF?

Does it stay in one spot for many or most of the FTA birds?

Thanks!

yes when you set your system up on your true south sat set the lnbf to zero skew. as the dish moves it will change the angle of the lnbf.and this will change the skew.

you only need to skew the LNB if its a fixed dish. Sicne its motorized, the motor does the skewing

Good luck with the installation! This is a great place to stop by when and if you have questions.

Oh...and...
