And it works very well on a 10ft micro-dine glass dish, also have a 1 meter dish(offset feed ku only channel master) with a motor on it and if i find a week feed with it / i will use the 10 ft. dish and just about all the time the 10ft will be a lot more than quality of the 1meter dish. Now i can see youre point if he is dealing with a old 12footer with very large holes in the mess but in my case my dish was commercal and used fer uplinks and i am very happy with it and would recomened any one who wants to try it that it works, just wanted to give feed back what i done and how it works.

as I stated captain it will work but the performance may be in question as the focal lenths of a prime focus dish and a off set dish is different. by no means did I mean to imply that it wouldn't work. the longer you are in this hobbie someone will figure out away to make just about anything work.
