[QUOTE="Menorca Man, post: 899240, member: 393212"] Thanks for the feedback Brian, particularly about your own experience regarding LNB skew. I'll be back up on the roof as soon as receive my new Goobay Quad and will make sure everything is adjusted for best reception on 11023H. I had used dishpointer.com to calculate the skew for Astra 2F at 28.2E (-18.7 degs) but have just noticed that they now include Astra 2E at 28.4E in the dropdown list. The skew calculation for that bird is shown as -26.3 degs!! That's a BIG difference considering the close proximity of those two satellites. It makes me question the accuracy of the 2F calculation, particularly as the skew for 28A at 28.5E is shown as -26.4 degs and that for Arabsat at 26.0E comes out at -24.2.
