C-Band on 90 CM Fortec Dish?

[delsat]

Well, was it here? Or another Forum where I saw someone had put a c/ku (for C-band dish) LNB on a Fortec 90-120? cm dish and they swear they were getting some signals.

Well, I think he even had a photo of it, and I told him that,

duh . . .

your dish is too small for C-Band, man . . .

and he swears he was getting it.


Um . . .

and I'm looking on the C-Band maps on Lyngsat and it shows a
"CM" column and honesly, some of the indications for C-band show 80-90 CM, so I assume it's possible.

My only problem is that I'm not getting a signal with my C/Ku-band LNB.

For instance, I'm watching Cubavision on 58 west with my simple ku band LNB.

Duh . . .

Now . . . try it with the C/Ku-band LNB which is much longer -- try it at several locations and distances from the dish . . .

Duh . . .

now what?

Well, I'm not getting any signal. Well, I tried with Ku-band, of course (disecq switch is set to "auto"), but the point is that eventually I will want it to work with C-Band.

So what's my problem? Like what's the trick to making those large LNBs work on smaller dishes?


Well, it would be nice to see several views from someone who really made it work.

Okay, that's all on this one.

Thanks in advance.

some of the guys has gotten limited c band on a 120cm dish but a 90cm is probaly out of the question.

Believe it or not I have experimented C band on 76cm and it works for real.
Again believe it or not.
The easiest one to receive with such small dish is PAS9 and NSS806.
I got only a few channels out of those satellites; obviously the strongest ones.
On PAS9 the strongest one is ENLACE TBN and ENLACE JUVENIL.
ON NSS806, RCN not viewable because it is encrypted.
All of these channels ranging 40%+ signal quality.
I did it just for the fun of it.
Conclusion: it is not a solution to C band.
Now I am the happy owner of a 6 footer and I got tons of C band channels from NSS806 to G13.
The only inconvenient is to watch NSS806, I have to install the dielectric plate and lose everything and to watch everything take out the dielectric and lose NSS806.
I hope this answers your questions.
