Will a 30" circular dish allow 2 LNB's for Satellites 9 degrees apart?

Hi Folks

I have a circular 30" dish and I want to find out if the focus on the dish is in an arc across the front of the dish? If so I image the signal strength is reduced as you move away towards the side of the dish? Any help you can give me on this subject would be greatly appreciated. I know that the oval dish is designed to get a spread but what about the circular dish. I havent found anything on this subject, Thanks

Absolutely. Nine degrees is a piece of cake. The tough ones are the ones where the birds are only 4 degrees apart. That's because the LNBs must be so close to each other that they actually touch. Tricky installs, but as Mikey would say ----> "doable". Where is that dude anyways???
He hasn't posted in centuries...

What sats are you trying to get? I see no problem with doing it as the KTI dish has 3 lnbs mounted on it. It is only 18" and for the most part what I would call a round dish.
