    I wasnt suggesting the LNB be turned upside down, my posts clearly state that if there is a difference, it will be slight! I agree that with 0 skew it will work fine, but my suggestion was there to help increase the signal that little more.

        No Hard feelings either way just thought a little light hearted banter would diffuse the situation a little, As previously suggested what works for yourself or anyone else then no problem

          A lot of hot air over a LNB. If you use the right size dish and a decent LNB. Set it up on 0.8, and the signal should be good enough for a excellent picture on Sat's for the dish size in Britain, and any messing about will not make any more difference to the picture. After all you should be watching the TV and not an test instrument.
