[QUOTE="7mdish, post: 1117320, member: 401140"] Thank you for your replies, very interesting. I forgot to mention that I was speaking of Ku band only. I have no C band yet, had some years ago with an old Corotor, then I dropped it and I don't think I will reinstall it on my new dish, at least not in my first setup, maybe in the future. Also, not sure if we have many signal in Ka band here in Italy, I don't think so. I heard about few local feeds some years ago, but I believe that Ka band is used mainly for data only, not TV broadcasting. So I speak of Ku band only. My main goal is to get feeds and weak signals, and this is the reason for which I believe the skew is so important (the same reason for which I want a so big dish!). Yes I'm looking for the last bit too! Obviously skew is not needed if you want to get Hotbird or Astra satellite, but this is not my goal, not with this dish at least. In my new setup I will test a Viking feed designed for offset dishes, I will tell you the performances but I must wait some week to get the dish, so not before next October I'm afraid. I will post the results here in the forum. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
