[QUOTE="nelson_b, post: 621140, member: 296628"] hi - can you go larger than 1 metre offset ? --- 1.2 or more would be better as i think you will struggle to get the sats you mentioned , on 1 metre looking at footprint maps your location should be quite a bit better than mine -- i can get some channels at Express on 40east, Yamal on 49east but the signal is low strength for me here in the u.k. on 1.8 offset the l.n.b holder and conical feed look the same as the ones i have i bought a DMX741U combination C and k.u. l.n.b. including dielectric plate and conical feed -- from america -- but the l.n.b is not practical for an offset dish in europe -- the feed in the k/u part is designed for prime focus - so will only pick up very strong satellites -- and the signal is weakened futher by needing the dielectric plate inserted in order to recieve C band L and R circular transponders -- i ended up buying a cheap C band only l.n.b from china -- and using the plate and feedhorn on that . with better c band results the l.n.b holder was ok for holding either of the l.n.b,s--without being altered at all -- but it will not directly fit onto the arm of "any " dish only certain types -- here is a picture from WS website showing the type of dish arm setup that the holder fits onto [ATTACH]23027[/ATTACH] i had to make my own bracket arrangement to get the l.n.b. holder into the correct place on a andrews / channel master the c band only l.n.b that i used can be found -- at ebay-auction-site --- item number 310152529448 the other l.n.b. and bits an pieces came from -http://www.wsidigital.com/c-band_lnb_f.htm delivery takes about a month - and i had to pay customs / V.A. T. charges also regards nelson.b [/QUOTE]
