I'm new to this so bear with me. I have an old P****star channelmaster 40x30 dish, coolsat 6000prem. I want to use invacom qph-301 quad lnb, and sg2100. Will this lnb get 2 birds at once, IE: 110/119, or do I need 2 lnbs? Also is this dish big enough for C/band?
Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks
 
Not much to see on 110/119, unless you subscribe to DishNetwork or Directv? The QPH031 C/L Quad LNBF will get 2 sats if they are in the same Satellite Location. In other words if there is a Linear Satellite and a Circular Satellite parked in the same location, the QPH031 will get them both. But, it will not get one Satellite at 110 and another Satellite at 119 at the same time.

Looks like VoomVoom answered your question.
Here are some other thoughts.

You could use two LNBs and get two birds at once on that dish.
Normally, you wouldn't motorize it, if you did that.

There are several members getting some C-band on 1.2m (4 foot) dishes.
One member recently reported some small success with his 36" dish.
So, for serious operation, I think the answer is "no", but for experimenting, the answer is "yes".
It depends on what your expectations are.
