A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Anyone following John's thread on the mechanical polariser/feed upgrades,

Adapting a Prodelin poloriser. - SatsUK

might be interested in the following eBay listing.

PRODELIN 3.7 C BAND METER PRIME FOCUS FEED HORN WITH CIRCULAR POLARIZER | eBay

A bit of work required, but for under £90 delivered you get the professional full sized circular depolariser, prime focus feed and some imperial nuts and bolts once it has been cleaned up.

This will be suitable for dish reflectors of f/d ratio 0.375 or nearby, the longer guide gives a better cross-pol isolation than the consumer unit, almost 16dB compared to around 13dB at a similar frequency.
