If that's the case then a dish with a wider horizontal receive beamwidth would work better, here stateside we use dishes with an elliptical receive beamwidth, this gives us the ability to receive 3 or more satellites with one dish, and in most applications 3 LNB's in one package, and in special applications a second LNB located to one side. (dish 1000 package for 110W, 119W and 129W, add on the 118.8W satellite and a second LNB is used)
Trying to get a good signal on a prime focus dish with a round focal point is tough, see if you can get a dish with an elliptical focal point, (an elliptical dish) you will have better luck with satellite signals offset to one side of center.
