It's a nice dish, definitely worth playing with, even on C-band, while understanding its limitations. I read earlier that you ordered a C/Ku LNBF. Just be aware that in most cases, those are ok on C-band but can be very mediocre on Ku. So you might want to also get a Ku-only LNBF (it's cheap)...

you might still see some VHF band 1 antennas on older roofs in the Netherlands as channel E4 was used for Nederland1 TV at the Lopik transmitter (between Utrecht and Rotterdam), until the switch to digital about 15 years ago. Now for a cheap/easy way to get an ATSC 1 tuner, your best bets are...

for the diseqc switches, look at Hypermegasat, a great site owned by fellow member Casey (as mentionned by Pepper). Also look up hypermegasat on ebay as he sometimes offers some bundles that don't appear on the website. He also offers an Enigma2 receiver from Edision, but seems to be...

welcome to the hobby! Some great obeservations but I have to disagree about the phone compass. If I used mine to align a dish, I might get TV from Mars and Jupiter but not from the usual satellites. I find them to be incredibly unstable and inacurate. And by consequence, AR apps that show the...

there's the 3dB attenuation, but a strong signal is not enough in itself. Think of circular as diagonal - a mix of H and V. and from the perspective of circular signals, think of linear also as a mix of L and R. So when you have a strong transponder that is circular, by using a linear LNBF...

not just satellite TV, in my opinion, but linear TV broadcasting in general is dying, whether it's on satellite, cable or OTA. Broadcast of course is still very relevant for live events (sports, news, etc.) but people are no longer into having their schedule directed by TV schedules, and...

yes I think that's the one I remember, but could not remember what the result was

in theory, it might be possible. You would have to make a feedhorn with waveguides that bring both signals together with the exact same phase (equal length of waveguide). in practicality, this would be very difficult to achieve, abd it would be much easier and cheaper to just get a 90 cm dish...

Those dishes should be ok for most Ku signals as long as you don't mind losing them during heavy rain/snow. They might be a tad too small for weaker signals like Montana PBS on 99W or LPB on 87W, depending on your location. But once you get a new LNBF mounted, they are definitely worth a try...
