How much difference between SD and HD
We can't find a carry-out antenna that will support DirecTV HD. How much difference is there in the clarity between SD and HD?

Skew...that's whether the dish is straight or on an angle but don't know the why of that.
You're aiming at 3-5 satellites positioned in different orbital locations. Even though they all are at 26,199 miles above the Earth's surface the fact that they are over different positions along the equator means that they will appear to an observer on earth to be on a slant; they won't be positioned along a horizontal line but will appear to be along an arc pointing downward (at least if you're in the eastern part of the US). The "slant" of that arc is the skew angle. In the eastern US satellites at larger longitudes are lower in the sky than those at smaller longitudes.
I hope this helps explain it a bit.
