Ok, here's something really whacky but sounds like an interesting experiment. Radio astronomers use a little hack of using two dishes together to create a virtual dish the size of the distance between them. Could that work for satellite transmissions? I mean, setup something simular to the following:
1. Two 90cm+ dishes at least 12 foot apart on rotors.
2. Move both dishes to the same angular position using two receivers/DVB cards.
3. Using a combiner, tune one of the receivers/cards to a
C-band transponder using both dish's LNBFs.
I know, sounds crazy.. but is it just crazy enough to work?
