skew me !
Looking at the mounting tabs in
both pictures....
it appears that the horn bolts down directly to the end of the dish's arm.
So, there would be no way to skew that beercan, unless the same slip-attachment is present.
In other pictures of Primestar lashups, I assumed the mounting had a U-clamp over the LNB neck (just a guess - I don't have one).
That would certainly let you adjust skew on a round dish.
You would not want to rotate (skew) the horn on a -wide dish- dish!
As a last resort, the mount for the entire dish could skew.
Does it?
This needs more discussion and thought.
edit:
Okay, the best answer I can come up with, is that the beercan and horn pictured above
does have a slip connection between them, and the LNB
can be rotated while the horn is bolted down solid to the dish's arm.
hrmmm... on round dishes , it would be sufficient to skew the LNB some way.
The horn could be rotated, and the dish should still work okay.
On the -quite wide- dishes , the horn could not rotate relative to the dish.
And, for the -wide dishes-, shouldn't the entire dish be skewed to maintain alignment with the satellites?
I don't think skewing just the LNB on a -wide- dish is the right thing to do.
re-edited:
to clarify my poor choice of wording between the nearly -round- dishes, and the quite -wide- ones...
...regardless of the proper terminology.
