[QUOTE="Archive4, post: 899210"] No Emmerdale today, so was able to play with my dish and another one I went to adjust. Take the focus off to degrade the signal, then adjust the skew. As I thought the effect of skew is not affected by the focus. When out of focus, the same skew variation has the same effect on signal, ie too much "left or right" and signal degrades. re-focus, approx the same turn of the LNB has the same effect on s/n. It would appear that on most frequencies the skew is not of major importance to most stb´s ( within margin ), but in the case of 11023H, being affected by the 2C data signal on 11008V it is very important. I know most people already knew this, but I wanted to check myself! MM the fact is , the skew is important to maximise s/n, but much more important when a neighbouring satellite has a much stronger signal that can influence the signal you are looking for. Forgot to mention that I could skew the LNB by 5 - 10 degrees either way before the STB or the S1 saw any noticeable degradation in signal. So, you are not alone! [/QUOTE]
