Yes, I had to move the LNB back further plus adjusted the brackets I created to focus the LNB as close to center as possible.

Actually by looking at his pictures a few posts above it looks like he has moved the LNB closer, but I will wait for him to respond.
These pictures were taken when I first installed the C/KU LNBF and the KU was terrible. Now the LNBF is back further. I will try to take new pictures and post ASAP.
I don't care if he sent it out and had it gold plated! -
I've never seen anyone claim they got Ku that good on one of those dual band LNBs.
I will be providing actual screenshots of signal quality on various C and KU band satellites to prove it.
Because KU band needs to be 3 times as accurate as C band the more I tweaked KU the better C was received and experienced less adjacent satellite interference on C band.
popcorn , that is what I call encouraging! I guess as some one said "patience" is the key word in free to air --- I want patience and I want it NOW !
Thanks
Thanks
Also: tweak it in small increments, till it gets worse and then tweak it back one increment.

This is exactly what I did.
Yes, I will provide front, back and side photos.If I get time to test my $1 offset dish scalar ring and it works, I will take photos of that as well.
This is what I love about these discussions, experimenting and reporting results. I think many of us enjoy aiming and tweaking as much as sitting down and actually watching something.
Other than these forums, I learned most things by mistake. Experience is a good teacher.

In no way did I mean to suggest I didn't believe you.
I was just so excited that someone had finally found a solution! - :up
Most of what I've read about those dual band LNBs has been pretty negative from most users (on Ku band).
And that's from folks who seem to have a -lot- on the ball!
A few with big dishes have made casual comments like -they- didn't have any trouble, and don't know what the problem is.
But those have been few and far between.
hey popcorn,
when you take some more pictures how about a less zoomed shot. I'm having trouble seeing exactly how it's configured. I think what you have there is similar (though I can't really tell since I can't see the whole thing) to the dish sitting out in my backyard waiting for when I have time to set it up.
