Basic questions about skew etc

[crabber]

I am in WA where I have connected a dreambox to an existing dish and lnb.
With the original (foxtel) lnb an Acer freq- 11.7-12.75 I got no signal at all.
Luckily I had brought a fortec star universal lnb from the UK and this worked.
What I don't understand is why was the original lnb fitted at about 30 odd degrees skew (so are others here) yet the foretec star needs to be upright?

I had some universal LNBs a couple of years ago which needed to be fitted like that, can't remember the make. As far as I understand, it was just a matter of the orientation of the working parts inside the case, so what you're describing may be the same. Have you explored the crustacean situation over there?

Lol yes you would have to be a dollar millionaire to be a crustacean catcher here, all pots have to be individually licensed etc they are in a different league to us poor old English fishermen.
As for the standard lnb's fitted here I guess that they are only single band but still can't get my head round why the "inards" are fitted "on the p*ss":D

garnier was one such lnb still have one somewhere
