Trouble aiming 61.5

[Jim5506]

It's probably more like 90-95%. Because if you use a dish500 with a single lnb on the cebter of satellite beam with a 90° skew (straight on), it will barely be higher than on an offset pattern you'd get from a multi lnb setup.
And for western arc the 119 is basically center anyways so you won't really see a difference but the 110 you would see a little difference but not huge.

I guess I was unclear.
What I was referring to was the surface area of a dish that has the same radius as the Dish Network offset dishes but contains the complete circle of reflector 360 degrees around the lnb's center focus. Dish Network off set dishes have only about 1/4 to 1/5 of that surface area. Indeed the offset dishes do gather enough signal to assemble a digital image and sound but they don't have to be 360 degree dishes like BUDs since the satellites are much more powerful and the lnbs are much more sensitive.

Just a quick update, I moved the dish to where I know there's no obstructions... It aimed great, working great with Wally after replacing hybrid lnb with a DP lnb... Not sure why, but I got a "lnb drift detected" error. Not sure what happened, is it possible that the hybrid lnb I bought off of solid signal is defective? Is there a way to test? I got good signal with it, but nothing worked on the wally...

Thanks everyone for the input!

Ever since hopper and wally I've seen them say lnb drift when nothing is wrong. (Not saying there's nothing wrong)
If it's working and no pixelation then I wouldn't worry about it.
The only way to test it is with a satellite meter.

Well, that's just it, it wasn't working, I had to go back to the DP lnb, and everything worked perfectly.
