10 Ft. C Ku DISH for new LNB's?

[tsimm]

I have an old 10 ft Diameter C/K band solid fiberglass dish that is rated for Ku and C band, and I have used it with dual (C and Ku) Dual LNB's on the old Analog receivers.

Can I replace the LNB's with the newer models and use my Dish Network receiver on this setup? It has a motorized polar mount that tracks the Clark Belt.
Will this signal be too strong for the newer LNB's? This dish has a gain of over 30 DB.?
Thanks for any info you can render.

Yes, No, No

Very succinct answer.However, can you clarify the following?

1. Can I use this dish with my existing Dish Network Receivers?

2.Will the LNB's be damaged by the strong signal from the larger dish?

3.Will I be able to receive FTA Signals?

Thanks again for your patience, I am a little slow sometimes.

I believe the answers are:

1. Yes you can use it with DN receivers, you can never have a dish that's too big...

2. With this kind of equipment there's no such thing as damaging an lnb with too strong a signal- the wattage put out by the satellites is so small it simply isn't possible.

3.Yes, you can get FTA signals.

Another "what if" question:
I have existing KU/C band LNB's Mounted on the 10 Ft dish.I have much more gain than required for the Dish Network system, so could I also mount the Dish Net LNB's slightly off center of the calculated focal point of the dish without degrading the signal to the other LNB's too much?I would like to use my existing C/KU receiver/Positioner (channel master) as well as the Dish Net receivers.
Thanks for your advice and input.
