[QUOTE="IjonT, post: 102515, member: 190838"] I have no experience with such a dish but I suppose that it is really prime focus one. I think that the original LNB is probably the C band LNB (you can try to receive some C band transponders on Arabsat 2C for istance to check if it is still working if your receiver is capable of it). I have read that you need special LNB with flange and a feedhorn for prime focus dishes (see [url="http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=37283"]http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=37283[/url] for instance). But your original question was how to put your dish and LNB together. So I supposed that your dish has no LNB holding arm. If it does have it then you can use it, of course (and do not throw it away even if it is an offset dish). (I even suppose that you can find the focus of the offset dish without LNB holding arm if you try hard enough. But I have no experience with it.) [/QUOTE]
