Stationary G10R w/ 76cm Winegard

Ok I gave my Winegard 76cm dish to my neighbor for a stationary mount on G10R. Those who know this dish know it is elliptical and not round. Sitting on my roof on a motor I was getting 11800 at 66%. Took off the motor and over to his house and now the best I can get is 48% on 11800.

Everything except the coax that ran into the house is the same minus the motor. Except when on the motor the dish rolls when moving outbound from 0. From my location G10R is 36 degrees from 0. Would rolling the dish on it's side make any difference? Not getting the ABC channels at all. 11720 is very weak to the point of no picture.

There may be a possibility I am looking just into the very top of one of his trees which he is cutting down today so this evening I will know what that does. If that is not it does anyone with stationary 76cm Wingard install experience have any suggestions?

TIA
Steve

Steve you might try playing with the skew on the lnb.

As I got thinking more about it I am 99.9% confident I have the lnbf skewed the wrong direction which would make it 70 degrees in the wrong direction. I will know when I get there tonight.

Somebody should have had a bit more confidence in me and took that bet. Lnbf was fine, it was the trees. Still lack the ABC channels out of Wyoming though.
