    Question Galaxy 25 - 97.0W Reception on 12 Foot Dish

    Normally, a click to the left or right will see signal gain more or less, if this not help in signal quality, try set the dish up or lower about a degree. and still not help, adjust the whole feed.

    Antenna help needed!

    I don't think the dish will work, the big offset dish you has is for internet purpose and the focal distant is far more then the regular KU LNBF required.

    Looking For Parts

    This is a foreign (maybe Taiwan dish maker) made KU dish holder back to 6 or 7 years ago, as long as I remember Taipei International (one of the chinese programmer) did handle this type of dish. Don't know which part broke, but can be modify anyway.
