[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1132665, member: 369937"] Unfortunately the way your setup mounts the "C" band LNB wont work too good, as the dish your using does not have a wide enough receive beamwith for an LNB mounted that far outside the prime focus area. According to satbeams, (take a look at the footprint map for 8W) your dish is about the right size for 8W, (1.7M) the EIRP for the footprint at your location is about 39 dBW, so you should not have a problem if the "C" band LNB was at the center of the dish and not outside the prime focus area. This will work if you get a dual band LNB setup for "C" and "Ku" in one housing, then both LNB's with be in the correct position. (dead center) Here is a link to satbeams, looking at 8W, (or what ever satellite you want) select the "Global" foot print, then zoom into your location and click on it, this will give you an idea on whats what.
