Now I know the sats are spread out different in the east then the west and its a no go but if you just wanted one sat(61.5) would it be possible or would the receiver look at the LNB and say No, you fool you're pointing the wrong direction! Thou shall not go further.
 
I got tired of changing my lnb out when camping so I played with the western arc on eastern sats.Had to set skew farther than suppose to be but it works.Using center for 61° came up with about signal of 60 on 61.5°...45 on the 72° and 40 on the 77sat..Got alot of extra time on my hands

Since I took the pics I replaced the straps with 2 steel straps and drilled a hole in the plastic lnb holder to run a short cable from the 77°lnb to the LNB input..I know it's not going to get the proper signal that you would with the 1000.4 but it does work
