HI, I am new here.... I have a dish 500 and I was wondering how to calculate and set the skews.... i used the sadoun satellite heading calculator and my skew is at -28.9, how do I set up the skew on my dish... because the skew setting on my dish is from 40-140..... can someone help

Thanks

Dish500 does not let you to set LNB skew, and you don't need one to receive their programming. Use calculator in your Dish receiver, or get its emulation from Dish techsupport website, it's called something like "Zip Code 32".
Skew for Dish500 is needed to receive signal from both satellites, as elevation differs, same as with toroidal dish
