[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 747158, member: 175144"] The LNB holder needs to track the geostationary arc. If you haven't compensated by offsetting the dish surface (the 1244 has no such provision, you would have to offset the pole) then the LNB arm needs to do the job. Since the 1244 is a 0.8 f/d ratio design, the LNBs required for the best signal would need to be with an appropriate feedhorn aperture, and you are unlikely to find many on the domestic market that work well. Unless you absolutely have to use the dish in fixed configuration, I would look at building a motor mount for the backplate, and stick a C120 quad LNB on the Prodelin feed that comes with the dish, you would have to drill out additional holes as the usual feed has six in a hexagonal pattern.
