[QUOTE="a33, post: 1143477, member: 332642"] With a 'horizontally' straight rail, the trick is to set the multifeed rail skew 'perfect' for the two outer satellites (19E and 5E), and take the slight misalignment for 13E and 9E for granted. Procedure, [I]assuming you have set the proper distance between the LNB holders on the rail already[/I]: 1. Align dish for 13E, the (about) central satellite. 2. Set elevation of the dish a tiny tiny bit lower, already. (You may or may not do this step.) 3. Find 19E, [B]by adjusting the rail skew[/B]. For your location, the rail skew would be about 10.5 degrees against the horizontal, when looking in the same direction as the LNBs. 4. Now check [I][B]by adjusting the rail skew[/B][/I], if for finding 5E, you have to move the multifeed rail at the 5E LNB higher, or lower, to get good reception. 5. If [B]higher[/B], set dish elevation a bit[B] lower[/B]. If [B]lower[/B], set dish elevation a bit [B]higher[/B]. 6. Repeat steps 3-4-5, untill step 4 needs no adjustment. (Only then, the combination rail skew and dish elevation is set as it should.) 7. Recheck the distances between the LNB holders on the rail. Does this help? Greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
