Do I need to change TP for this satellite?
I peak the dish for higher maximum signal with AMC 4 satellite (97% quality) & G3C (80% quality).
If I peak the dish for higher maximum signal using G10R satellite, what is going to happen with the signal from the other satellites?
Sounds like I need to upgrade my LNB (from .6 to .3 db)
Thanks.

A cooler lnb usually won't improve your signal strength. Your problem is alignment of the mount, not you lnb. And don't just start randomly moving the dish around trying to peak each sat. Follow the
installation directions exactly, meaning starting with the sat due south of you, which would probably mean Echo-9 for you, even though nearly everything is scrambled on the KU side of that sat.
Also, you need to pay particular attention to magnetic deviation when orienting your mount to the south, if you use a compass. Perhaps even better than using a compass is to go to
http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/AltAz.html and find the time of day when the sun is at 180 deg azim, ie true south, and use the shadows of the feed to orient the dish. Beware, that the above web page doesn't use daylight time.
Anyway, if you do the alignment properly, then all sats will come in pretty much the same, unless there are trees in the way.
