Skew-less?

[fLXO41pH]

Is there such a thing as a y-adapter which can compensate for what appears to be an older dish with no skew adjustment?

Purchased a house a while back, which had a ~20" dish with single LNB pointed at BEV 91. Added a yoke & second LNB with the idea of hitting both 91 and 82, only to frustrate the hell out of myself trying to re-aim it until I realized that I was panning instead of skewing. :o

Am I SOL unless I replace the dish with one which allows skew adjustment, or have I just not found the appropriate yoke for this setup?

tape a lnb to the side of the original one, about a half inch lower, I can't remember if goes on left or right. I think if you are facing the dish head on, so lnb is pointing at you, it goes on the right. but search forum do clarify

The KISS principle in action... I love it. When facing the same direction as the dish, the Red Greened LNB is on the right. 82 is singing loudly at about 75% after minimal farting around.


Thanks for the help!

You really should get an official dish that has a skew adjustment if you want to run two lnb's. In the long run you'll probably end up saving yourself a lot of time and hassle.

I was just saying that in terms of signal quality and maitenance, it's much easier to use the equipment designed for the job. As cheap as dishes are may as well do it right at some point.
