I need to how the skew rings bolt onto the lnb.

a direcpC LNB wont work unless the satellite aimed at is near your true south or its motorized.

DirecPC dishes are skewed...Primestar the LNB is skewed

I have a DPC LNB on my Primestar but its aimed at G11 which is 2 degrees off my true south so the 3 skew doesnt mean much

What about this.

Just hold on one dang second Direcpc dishes the dishes skewed but the lnb couldn't due to the way it was bolted on. Can I use my two skew rings and bolt them on to the lnb and then twist the lnb to the desired skew?
