A qiuck question. It seems logical, but I am sure there is a complicated answer.
As I understand it an offset dish is in essence a section of a prime focus, so taking a 2.4m dish, the offset of that would be an oval shape above the LNB, giving approx a 1.2m offset dish. Now if the 2.4 had extension petals, to 3.1m, then the offset dish equivalent would be 1.55m approx. The prime focus original part has the same shape as before, so using this as an example, why is it not possible to get extention petals for offset dishes.
I ask as a little increase in my dish size would bring in the PSB channels perfectly.
Thanks
