Signal Check - Azimuth, Elevation and Skew explanation

posted by InfoDesk BeyonDSL on 25 February 2011

  • The Azimuth (magnetic) is the compass bearing to point your dish.
  • The Elevation should be set on the scale on the mount at the back of your dish.
  • The LNB Skew is the figure you set on the iLNB scale. 
Ignore the “-“ sign. EG if Dishpointer says the LNB skew is -10° then make sure the scale on your iLNB is set to 10.
