I agree you have to set the skew on the initial install but if you take it down and set it up in the same location plus or minus a few hundred miles you don't have to change the skew. Doesn't matter where you live.
When you go to set it back up, you have to level it and set the compass heading and angle but the skew will be fine until you move east, wedst, north or south more than several hundred miles.
And only a hundred setups? I have done hundreds and hundreds. All over the country. In heavily treed canopies with tiny holes. In the rain. With heavy cloud cover.
The skew setting for a Direct 3 LNB dish using the 101W, 110W, & 119W sats in Jacksonville, FL is 50.9 degrees. The same dish when used about 345 miles (a typical RV travel day) away in Miami should have the skew set at 44.1 degrees. Do you really think an almost 7 degree skew error doesn't affect the signal strength from the outer LNB's?
