so if my skew is around 38 i set it to 128 or so?
IIRC, when standing behind the WD DIRECTV dish. The dish degrees on the tilt plate are numbered 0 to 180° in a clockwise direction with 90° at the top of the arc when the dish is exactly level horizontally (meaning the LNB Skew is 0°).
For the Slimline it's 0 to 180° counterclockwise.
So for the WD dish if the dishpointer "LNB Skew" listed in the coordinates are positive then you would add 90° to convert. Or subtract the LNB Skew from 90° if the LNB Skew given by dishpointer is negative.
Vice-versa for the Slimline dish. ....
