You can try and put a 2nd LNB on the Primestar for AMC4
KUIL is very strong and 3ABN is pretty strong too. I was able to get a 60-70 signal on KUIL with a smaller dish (DirecTV Phase II…which is 24x20)Directv Slimline SWM 5 LNB and DirectvWorld dish on the roof of the apartment building...Directv HR34 AKA Genie
All FTA stuff in storage right now

I think I will try that. I think it might be easier to attach the Fortec uinversals together than the KUL1's due to their shape. The only concern I might have is the skew, as the Fortec universals are kinda square, so I wonder if I might have to much skew on the AMC4 lnb? I will give it a shot though :-) KUIL sounds interesting :-)

if you skew the IA5 LNB, AMC4 will skew along with it.
Plus the skew is minimal for the midwest for IA5 & AMC4
