OTHER Upgrading from LNBF to Orthomode feed

[Magic Static]

I'm curious as to what satellite has circular C-Band that you want to get? I see no circular C-Band from here and didn't think there was much at all unless you were in the east coast area. I have not seen an ortho like yours set for circular reception but I have seen a Bullseye II feed set up for circular and the slab in that feed is set just like yours at a 45° angle to the H & V polarities.

I can receive 22w-133w at my location with my LNBF. I just was curious about how others insert slabs into a feed not slotted for it.

Here's a photo of my dish on 22w. I was curious about how low I could go...

47.5w cband has a lot of backhauls. Satellite can be reached as far west as AZ.
40.5w has a couple of good channels. Baseball on telecaribe, morbido tv airs horror movies in English with Spanish subtitles,
For news, VOA is on 40.5w. CNN Brasil on 47.5w.

Does anyone know the difference in insertion loss between a powered 4x8 and 4x4 multiswitch? I don't need the extra outputs if that means I lose 3dB more...

I was wondering this myself. I am using a 4X8 and only use 4 outputs.

I finally installed my new orthomode feed. But I must say, I see no real improvement over the Dual output Titanium LNBF. That is truly a great LNBF.
