4.2 Reception in remote areas
LNB SETTINGS IN DIFFERENT REGIONS:
This setting is done automatically at the Oyster® V Premium with SKEW option. This section describes how to
fine-tune the LNB to optimise reception in the fringe of a TV satellite's footprint. This requires loosening the LNB
bolts and turning the LNB by a specific angle. This is only required in the fringe areas of a satellite's footprint. It
should be performed by expert users only.
All satellites broadcasting channels of interest to Central European viewers are aimed at Central Europe. In loca-
tions outside this area, the antenna has a "sideways view" on the satellite. This effect is known as the "SKEW an-
gle" or "polarisation angle" and occurs particularly in southern regions such as Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Greece,
Turkey, and most extremely on the Canary Islands. The effect is mostly compensated by the receiver's electronics,
but sometimes some manual fine-tuning is required by pivoting the LNB (reception head) by some degrees.
