Randomly point at satellite's and see if you can get some pissed off people knocking at your door.

You could use it to listen to ur neighbors wild parties by putting a microphone at sounds focalistic point.

Yes, you can bolt up a C band LNB for one polarity only.

If you remove the filter and the buc, you have a good ortho feed for Ku. A regular Ku lnb bolts right on where the buc mounts. Best setup for this would involve a powered multiswitch.

Actually, not good for an ortho. It only does one polarity. It's built to reject the other polarity. At least the StarBand dish with that equipment on it is that way. I've been studying the feasibility of making a orthomode KU feed out of that. It can't be done with any reasonable performance.

Sure it can Magic Static...Here is a pic of one of mine with the filter removed..Only thing needed here is a couple Ku lnbs and there ya have a Ku Orthomode feed..I had this feed set up on a 1.2m Andrews and it is a very good performer..I removed it to tinker around with a Invacom quatro bolted straight up to the C120 and it was a bit better than the Ortho feed so I left it there.
