Using direct slimline with orby?

[Robert Dickens]

I measured where the original lnbf was and used a standard FTA lnbf with a universal mount. Dish is at zero skew, lnbf is skewed. It is mounted on top of the pole for my motorized ku dish. I rushed putting this up during really cold weather, which bothers my hands horribly, so it likely can be dialed in a little better but so far it has worked great.

Thanks for the pictures and the info i would like to try it this way now which would mean i could use a dish that doesnt have a skew setting and i have several of those lying around.

As others have mentioned the Direct TV world direct dish and LNBF do work, currently using it in my setup.
Was a DTV tech, so had extras in my garage.
Only problem I think the dish tilt is not enough to get optimum signal in my lication.

Slimline works just fine with linear lnb
