    LNB skew vs DISH skew

    I have a small dish (around 22") which rotates. Thinking of removing rotating parts and attach it to a larger (30") dish to make dish skewable. I would like to know whether it is worth the effort, and I will end up with some gains compared to just skew the LNB on a same dish? Thanks for all...

    Paint on the LNB ?

    Thanks for all the advise, now I am considering a safer approach. I am going to place a thin piece of plastic in front of the LNB and see if is there any signal reduction and if it is how much. Then I will paint this extra plastic piece with a white acrylic-latex and see what happens ?
