Second dish on non-penetrating mount idea?

No, I have an LNB made specifically for DSS dishes. VIEWSAT KU BAND LINEAR DUAL LNB FSS SATELLITE LNBF | eBay

Thanks. I may buy one of those. How does it anchor to the feed arm? The pictures on the seller's Ebay listing don't show any screw holes. Could you take some pictures of yours?

The screw goes into the metal housing between the two coax connectors.

A new hole would need to be drilled in between the existing 2 holes on the feed arm correct?

Sorry for the late reply. The coax gets fed through the arm

Thanks for the pics. Mine looks slightly different (there are two holes and none in the middle)

Well, I’m using the old (pre 2006?) Dish Network 1000.2. Maybe another DN arm will work? Or how about the older DN dish on your roof? Swap out arms with that one?

Will probably just drill a hole in the middle

The Winegard 76cm dish suggested by Alexander Olar for $54 on Ebay arrived today. Setup was a breeze; getting signal strength of 90 on LPB now

Must be my location?

I find that the GeoSat SL1PLL LNB’s make a big difference too. That’s all I use.

The HD265 is also more generous than some other receivers.

The HD265 is also more generous than some other receivers.

More generous as in, the tuner is more sensitive? Or more generous as in, the signal meter just displays higher than others?
