    Dual LNB on a six footer

    ADVERTS 1
    I have my 6 footer parked on AMC 3 @ 87W for NASA TV, ME-TV and This-TV. I'm thinking about strapping a Ku LNB off to the side and try to pick up AMC 9 @ 83 W for RTV. I know that the offset LNB wont be optimum on a prime focus dish but there should be lots of signal to make up for that. Do you think this would work or am I wasting my time?

    if you get a prime focus LNB (satelliteAV sells them for like $10) it should work better
    Winegard 76cm dish, SG2100 motor, Sadoun dual KU LNB..... Directv Slimline SWM 3 LNB.... GeoSatPro 36" dish with Sadoun dual KU LNB... Coolsat 5000 on motorized.... Manhattan RS1933....Directv HR34 (yes the 5 tuner monster) GeoSatPro 200 to aim dishes.... few receivers not set up yet
    Two 6 foot Fortec dish with GeoSatPro dual C-Band LNB "ghetto moved" to various C-Band satellites

    I finally got around to trying this. It works fine even with the offset LNB.

    Quick and dirty but it works. I might try another LNB on the other side for 97W.
