question about the Amc 1 ku band skew

[skyscanner4ever]

I hear of this oddball skew you need for the AMC 1 nbc feeds. My question is this, I have a motorized 1.2 meter dish and I am hitting the nbc channels just fine, I know my dish is not skewed much at 103* so is there really alot more I could hit out there if I skewed my lnb? Also on a motorized dish what should i change the skew too once I am aimed at 103?

If you're getting all three transponders with S2 HD feeds, you're probably not missing anything.

With a 1.2 you're probably fine. The smaller the dish the more problematic the oddball skew is. Another recent post of mine on the subject http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/293999-NBC-Network-Feeds?p=2999552#post2999552

Some members have talked about a second LNBF on their motorized dish.
It's mounted right beside the main LNBF, but skewed the extra 20-some degrees.
It's simple enough to enter the (wrong/offset) location for that bird, making the motor drive the #2 LNBF into position.
Command your diseqc switch to the 2nd LNBF, and you're all set.

Guess it depends on dish size, location, etc.

Some time back, Pendragon put a 6' Prodelin on an Ajak 180 for Ku
He also mounted a 2nd LNBF.
Makes me wonder now, how necessary it was? ...

I need to change skew to get the S2 NBC TPs on that bird with a 36" dish. While it might not be necessary with a 1.2, adding the second LNBF with oddball skew might give you enough extra signal quality to effectively combat rain fade. This was a big problem for me with the 36" dish during the Olympics, even with corrected skew.

Well i am getting all of the nbc occasional channels, the nbc central,west,ect. I get the ots nbc channel, also the Sunday Night football backhaul feeds. I scanned in a s2 hd figure skating feed last night that was nbc, I am guessing I am getting everything on the bird.
