I don't think there is any reason that the Dishnet 121 dish shouldn't work on G3C. It's plenty big. However since there are different types of dishnet systems, I'm not sure what the differences are, particularly with respect to what you need in terms of 22KHz if you're going through the DN switches. I had a neighbor with a DN 121 dish, I think his was called a SuperDish or something, but it had separate coax connections for the 121 LNBF and for the 2 DBS lnbfs. If you have that type dish, I'd recommend just grabbing the separate coax for the linear lnbf, and not trying to go through the DN switch. If you can't access the separate lnbfs, I guess you're stuck, and may have to experiment, or find someone who is familiar with your specific hardware. But it should be possible.
However the other issue is aiming. The Superdish I saw, was designed to receive 110, 119, and 121, so the 121 reception is kind of off to the side of the overall aim of the dish, and also since it's linear, the tilt of the assembly is important, and that tilt will be different if you're trying to aim at G3c.
Anyway, it should be possible, but it may take a bit of work to get it to work. Sorry I'm not more familiar with your hardware. I was hoping that my neighbor would give me his dish when he moved, but I guess the new owners must have wanted it.
