[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 906522, member: 369937"] I've experimented with a 1 meter dish and a combo "C"/"Ku" band LNB, had some results, got a few channels on a couple of birds but the fade margins were just not there, signals kept fading in and out with the clouds as they moved through the path, I kept at it for a few weeks but it got tiresome as I didn't have a motor for that setup, repositioning it by hand all the time to look around got to me. (bad knees and back) The "C"/"Ku" band LNB came with a separate scalar ring and a mount for a small offset dish, I could move it around for fine tuning the signals, the dual band LNB was useful in finding some of the birds, I would zero in on "Ku" band and switch over to "C", "Ku" worked great, "C" was spotty. The great "C" band experiments on a 1 meter dish now sit in a box in the garage, (combo LNB and ring) I used the dish for a better signal on 129W for my "Ku" band HD receivers. [/QUOTE]
