Inappropriate LNBF on big dish.

Can anyone asses how much is this dish degraded by using an inappropriet LNBF? Dish is probabbly Prodelin 240 cm (4 petals). Thanks.

Nothing wrong if the panels are aligned correctly.

Perhaps the owner is having trouble getting a feedhorn that is correct for the reflector (Looks like a 1244 so a 0.8 f/d plus clamping arrangement).

Thanks.
Dish is for sale.
New owner of house does not have a clue what this dish is use for so he is selling it.
And LNBF caught my attention.

That looks like an Alps narrow LNB, I would guess that any LNB with a wider feed would work better. The aspect ration of the photo seems to have been stretched.

Yes, the picture from different angle is better:

I have attached a few pictures below of the correct Ku-Band feed that is matched to a Prodelin 1244 dish.
You can use the matched feed with an original Ku-Band OMT or it can be slightly modified to accept a C120 flange LNB.

Most likely it is Black Inverto Multiconnect. I think that simple Inverto Black Ultra (IBU) will work fine on this dish, if installed properly.
