Can i use a Cband dish?

[billnmich]

Hi all, I was wondering, could i use my Cband dish to recieve Directv. What I was wondering is if I could mount their LNB's on my big dish and aim the dish at their Sats. It should help greatly for rain fade, what about picture quality? Or would I be better to pick up say a 4ft solid dish? Thanks Bill

Skyvision had a lnb for this... I tried a hacksawed Scalar reing with a D* lnb taped too and never could get a signal... others here know more about this than me...
