Thank you Ice. I'm surprised at how good the signal is without a scalar ring. All channels have a signal strength above 65%.

I added a second LNB to my solid 8 ft dish centered on 99W, to get 105W for my 4DTV receiver. I was surprised that I received a good strong signal at 6 degrees off center and without an additional scalar. I tried without the scalar to determine the exact location, planning to add the scalar later, but the signal was so good, that I never have added it. Those are 2" pipe clamps from Lowes.
This is the 2" clamp I used available for $1 at Lowes (Shop Gampak 2" Rigid Clamp at Lowes.com).
C-Band LNB's fit perfectly and can be easily adjusted.

I'm receiving 3 ITC channels with a solid 72% signal. I just can't get the "CBC" MUX as well as "Family TV" for some reason. I'll try adding a scalar ring this weekend. Although a solid 72% signal is very good considering that the highest signal from Galaxy 16 (centered with scalar) is LeaSea with a 74% signal.

Family TV/KCHF (3791 transponder on 99W) I cant get either on my 6 footer. Use to come in. Dont know if its still there
CBC being S2 requires a more precise aim

i would have to guess that since our c band dishes are round and not elliptical they are not the best for multi beam setup.
i would imagine for every degree you go off the bore sight, the gain drops dramatically.
