You can BUT you will need a circular C Band setup. The least expensive way to go with a BSC621-2. You will only be able to use the dish for circular signals at that point. I use a separate dish for circular C Band.

Circular is designated with R & L and linear are designated with H & V. It is how the wave is sent to you. Either in a right hand twist, left hand twist, vertical or horizontal.

Additionally C Band at the present is designated with 4 digit tp freqs and Ku are 5. So 11250 is Ku and 4150 is C Band
