According to the eBay seller I got the dish from that is possible but thus far with my mount even in the best case situation I can provide absolutely NONE of the transponders are locking. Honestly this falls into the category of "I'll believe it when I see it" and thus far I am not seeing it.
Galaxy 19 on a 24 inch dish?

I have a couple other LNBs with a higher IF compared to this one so those will be tried next. Unfortunately I have an overhang I can do nothing about near where the dish is so that could be part of the problem. The cable I have is RG-6 quad shielded swept to 3 GHz which I have used for satellite TV (Dish Network) in the past with no trouble at all.
Go to dishpointer.com and put in your address.
Then select G19 and it will tell you at what elevation to set your dish.
You also need to set your skew on your LNBF it will also give you that info.
Are you using a Linear LNBF? A circular LNBF like for DISH will not work.
You also need to make sure there are known active transponders in your receiver. You can go to lyngsat.com for that info or look in "The List" above.

I am using a dual polarization LNB that also works for circular polarization. A bit odd but that was one of three I got with the dish so it seems that maybe it really is not stable enough. There are active transponders in my receiver according to the list posted here and according to Lyngsat.
The IF is 10.75 GHz for the LNB and the receiver is set accordingly. Also set for the correct polarization based on the various transponders.
What brand and model of LNBF with circular and linear polarity? How many outputs? Is there any marking on the output that you are connected to?
I am guessing its an Invacom. If it is watch out as its heavy and could pull down the arm on the DISH and throw the dish out of alignment. I had to bend the arm on mine to make up for the weight of the LNB but it worked. 
The LNB I have is a Digiwave, a sort of no name one that came with the dish when I got it. This one is supposed to be linear and circular polarity but I don't see anything that suggests linear polarity from the reception.
Need more LNBF information. Model? How many output connections? Are the connections labeled "C" or "L"? Maybe a photo of the LNBF?
Receiving G19 with a 24" dish will be a challenge. Too small to reliably receive all of the transponders unless everything is aligned perfectly.

The model of the LNB is a Digiwave DGL-1189S and it has two output connections. The box says it has circular and linear polarization which I am doubting at this point.
According to advertisement, this is universal LNBF for DSS ???

Is there a skew adjustment available on the dish. (rotate it CW, CCW) ?
Set your LNB type to Universal, (22khz should 'gray' out.= auto select)
Or LNB type to Standard, L.O. = 10600 and 22khz set to ON.
???? How about some pictures of the dish, front, side, back.

Digiwave.ca is apparently owned by Homevision Technology Inc. Here is their page for the lnb: http://www.homevisiontech.com/linear-circular-combo-dual-lnbf-lo-10-75ghz-square-type.html There is a bit more detail about it's specs and operation if you click the Additional Information tab which someone may find helpful.
The LNB was used to get DISH 118w and 119w together. I thougth 119 was circular and 118 was linear, but 118 is really FSS circular. It didn't perform that well as a "linear" LNB, as noted back 2008 (see link below). You're better off getting one of the newer PLL LNBs...
