Hi, I do not know if this question is ridiculous, but I need to know if placing 2 lnb norsat in a primary focus antenna can travel the arc without having to skew as it is done with a double polarity digital lnb I do not know if you understand me Question

IF the skew for the lnbf is set properly to 0 at your TRUE SOUTH position, then as the polar mount turns either East or West, the lnb feed will automatically skew the proper amount for each satellite.
Follow the install instructions for this, it's more or less the same with any feed.

that's right, I also do it in a primary focus antenna with a digital lnb of 2 polarities and I go through the whole arc, the restlessness I only had it with the lnb Norsat because I do not know much about them
a friend did the test and going through the arch he lost the satellites

That can only happen if things aren't set properly. Either his polar mount isn't right, OR, he didn't originally set the skew at exactly 0 when the polar mount was at his TRUE South (NOT your True South SATELLITE, your sites True South). It's easy for that to happen, if you don't account for the magnetic variance at your dishes location.
the antenna of my friend is well at all, with a lnb of the traditional runs through the arch and has the true south, only has problems with the norsat
SOME lnb's have their internal antennas at different positions. It could be at 9am, OR 12pm if you are comparing to a 12 hour clock face. Normal would be 12pm. So have him try rotating it to 9am, when the dish is at the True South.
ok, I'll tell him to do tests at 9 o'clock, hopefully he works well THANKS
Are you asking about a dual C-Band LNB feedhorn with no polarity servo like a Bullseye? If so it is possible not to have a skew controller with that particular feedhorn using two LNB's.
