Hello, after many years of satellite reception, in my experience I always thought that a well done motorised system needs some kind of polarity adjustment.
So, in my new system hoping to install before next winter I planned a motorised feed, see here:
But, at the same time, I'm asking why most users don't use any skew adjustment, also in big motorised dishes.
Well, I believe that no polar mount or H-H motor have such precision movements to decline the dish exactly in the right position to reach a perfect skew on all satellites (particularly on extreme birds), so I suspect that most users are OK when they receive the signal, and if not they think that the dish is too small or similar.
I would like to share your opinion about this problem. I'm convinced the skew adjustment is absolutely needed, so I just ordered a motorised feed for my new Raven 2.4m dish, no doubts, but what is your thought? Thanks.

Upside down offset dish
I noted that some forum member installed offset dishes upside down. Could anyone explain what is the reason? Which advantage with such installation? I really have no ideas. Thanks.
