Does any of the CBand satellites use circular lnb's?Between sats 43 thru 55w
 
Yes they do. Check Lyngsat. any of the C birds that show L and R instead of H and V are circular birds. They are basically on the atlantic birds
 
I had a question speaking about circular LNBs.
If you have a Circular LNB set up is it possible to get signal on the Linear H V birds too? I been told that you can but not the other way around. Signal may be less on the HV birds but you can get them with a circular LNB that you would with an H V LNB.
I just wanted to verify if that was true or not.
 
there is a plate that goes down the LNB to make it circular so you might get V/H stuff but at a lower signal
 
I know for a fact that you can pick up circular birds with a linear LNBF at a lower power. This signal is cut about in half. It proves to be annoying when using a QPH-031 to scan linear birds where there is a circular bird at the same orbital slot, or, as in the case of 119w, a powerful circular bird adjacent to a linear one :)
