[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 6132, member: 174998"] you can manually set the skew (angle of orientation of a magnetic or mechanical polarisor) on many high-end receivers. This can be useful especially in getting the sweetest spot of a circularly polarized signal, but for linear signals it's hardly useful. That's because as the dish tracks the arc, and the LNB (incl. polarisor) consequently tilts in unison, things contrive to keep it perfectly aligned with the skew of the sats further along the arc. If you were to aim a fixed dish directly at a low-arc sat, then you would need to rotate the LNB (set the skew) to match the settings you refer to. 2old [/QUOTE]
