      Sky signal and skew setting

      Hi all,

      I upgraded my single LNB to a quad this week, but I'm just east of London but accidentally set my LNB skew setting to 4 rather than 3... but if it still gets a good signal quality, does it matter? Or will it affect reception of some channels that I haven't noticed yet?

      It would be better if I didn't have to get all the ladder out again to mess about with it. Here is the signal screen anyhow:

      Don't worry - you should be OK. Skew is more important when you have a low signal and poor quality, but you have neither. If you were 90 degrees out then you could have a problem but not with such a small variation. So just watch and enjoy.

      Thanks for replies, I'll just not worry about it then, haha. The read about LNB Skew was enlightening as well! Like dms05 said and in the article, the signal quality is just fine so the skew must be set fairly right...
