I've been messing with a small 18'' pizza dish that I have here for the last week or so and finally was able to get 95W to come in watchable on it, figured I'd post it because the way I finally did it might save someone a few headaches if they try it.
I'd first tried one of those universal LNB holders and then made a holder, but neither of them worked very well, I could lock transponders but not get any viewable picture. What I ended up finally doing was removing the plastic housing of the original LNB that was with the dish and the circuit board and then chopped off the round end of the feed. I then chopped off a little more than half of the wave guide and then just hose clamped a cheap universal to it. It actually seems to be working okay, quality on the MIcroHD is between 49% and 58%, of course, it's nice and clear today, in lousy weather it'll probably be a different story!
