Hi guys, I'm setting up a system to watch Hispasat from the Miami area (25.75 LN and 80.34 LW); the indicated LNB tilt from Satlex is -57.84. The antenna I'm using is a 36" multi-sat DTV with 95 d W Ku LNB. The antenna has markings on the back for the skew from ~35-145 with 90 being the center. I know I have to rotate the LNB clockwise but only have a limit of 55 dg. each way, or is it only to the 57.84 mark???
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I'm using for this test a Pansat 2500 but will like to integrate it to the home satellite TV system, may be using a DP34 or diseq switches. What will be best?

Thanks
 
you would go -57 from 90 so basically 35. Thats only 2 off for skew which shouldnt make a difference :)
