3.1 Reception in practice – aiming the satellite system 3.2 Reception in distant countries

Satellite antennas are aimed at a satellite along three adjustment planes: LNB SETTINGS IN DIFFERENT REGIONS:
This section describes how to fine-tune the LNB to optimise reception in the fringe of a TV satellite’s footprint.
1. AZIMUTH ANGLE (COMPASS HEADING)
This requires loosening the LNB bolts and turning the LNB by a specific angle. This is only required in the fringe

decreasing as you move further North.

3. SKEW ANGLE (POLARISATION DEVIATION)

For optimal reception at the fringe of the satellites' footprints in southwestern and southeastern regions, the LNB

may have to be rotated to compensate for the polarisation deviation caused by the earth's curvature.
