    I string tested it but that's the full extent of tuning I did to the dish. I decided to see if the last owner had it tuned and didn't adjust anything. As to the skew to be honest I don't know anything about adjusting it, I was guessing it was more of a satellite thing instead of a channel...

    So I was looking at the lnb portion of it and noticed that it has a Chaparral feed horn.. Would this be something worth trying to make work or do you think It should be replaced?
