I am looking into purchasing a OPH which has the capability of receiving both according to the write-up at Sadoun.

Thanks Again for the feeback.

BTW What is the easiest way of point one of these dished, I know the basics with AZ and EL but would purchasing a Signal meter Like a SatHawk make the troubleshooting any less painfull.

Yes it will recieve circular signals just fine, your lnb is the problem. With that size dish I would just offset a circular lnbf next to the lnb you have now to get the circular ones. I would check the signal footprint or EIRP of the satellite @ 110 degrees to see if your dish is large enough to get a useable signal at that location. From the EIRP maps I am seeing I do not think you will see 110 signal.
