Re: nimiq 1

1. Any working DirectTV or DishNetwork should work.
2. If you have a motorized dish which tracks the arc correctly, attaching an circular lnbf next to the ku lnbf should get you lock on all the DishNetwork/BellVu satellites.
If you have a fix dish, you can attach an circular lnbf next to the ku lnbf but it'll be a little more complicated becuase it depends on what satellite your dish aims at. Example, If your dish aims at Telstar5, attaching a circular lnbf will get you Nimiq1 at 91W. In theory, you can make a fixed dish to get multiple satellites which are 4 degrees apart. But it takes a bit of time to find the right position for the circular lnbf to get locked. It's much simplier to put up a 18" dish for circular dish (any DirectTV or DishNet dish will work)
The link below has some pictures posted by Sadoun, it should give you an idea of how you do it:

If so, what circular LNBF do you recommend?
