Because you are centrally located in TX your home dish likely uses little or no skew, but if you look carefully you will most likely see that the dish is not perfectly level with the ground. This turning of the dish out of the level plane is called skew. This skew adjustment will change with each location as you move East to West as the satellite are each at a different elevation. This is the option that cannot currently be built into a crank-up dish and the requires you to manually change the azimuth and elevation to locate each satellite. The additional complication with a crank-up is that is only has one KU band LNB and therefore will never be able to receive the HDTV programming from DirecTV as they are being broadcast on their new KA band satellites. Dish Network still uses KU band.
