With some extra time and mild temperatures i was able to install my custom made feed-horn (3 LNBS: C-band/Ku-circular/Ku-linear) on new years eve. I was able to put the ku-circular @ 3 o'clock and the Ku-linear @ 9 o'clock. i drilled through the feed-horn the two lnbf, so they would be as close to the middle as possible. i used a 0.3dB Universal Ku Single LNBF and a used single output RCA lnbf.
I had to cut some plastic off the 'cover mount' where the lnbs stuck out a little. As I tried to hook up the wire from the circular lnb it wouldn't clear the 'plastic cover mount' so i drilled a hole for the wire to exit and enter the cover. I then ran three short wires to a 4x1 DisEqC switch inside the cover. The cover fit perfectly and everything fit inside, looking very neat! I then made sure the feed-horn was in the center of the dish.
c-band: reception stayed the same as before for both digital and analog.
Ku-circular: I was able to receive signal from Nimiq (91) "65-75" for 1/2 of the transponders and "30-40" on the other 1/2 (i don't understand why so weak). Echostar (110/119) was much better nearly "100" on all conus transponders.
ku-linear: It worked, but i am having troubles with it. I was trying to receive all of G-10R, but only received signal from a few transponders (both Vertical and Horizontal), signals were good however: "55-65" I started another post for this problem
here.
When i moved my dish to G-10 C-BAND at a spot with strong signal and then switched over to ku signals were very weak. Once moving the dish a few clicks the signal improved on ku. The same event occurred with the linear LNB. I was wondering if i could add more satellites to my old cband receiver, to solve my offset problem, but moving the dish a few clicks isn't that bad.
