    Polarisation Setting Polarisation Setting The polarisations setting is required to compensate for the so-called skew. The skew is the discrepancy between the vertical polarisation of the received signal from the geographical verticals. For optimal reception, the LNB must be installed before the satellite disk, inclined by the skew angle. The CAP 950 calculates the skew angle on the basis of the GPS data and inclines the LNB fully automatically.
