Thanks I'm still learning how to teach with C band dish and LNBF. Need to learn how to attach ku band lnb and use single dish for all if possible for satellites that are near to each other.

New setup. Big dish now pointing towards Intelsat20.
Got only 30 channels. I think I need a bigger dish.

Re-aligned the dish and LNB only to realise my LNB was not adjusted properly. Got almost all Intelsat20 68.5°e FTA channels.
Also painted the slightly damaged part of my dish with heat resistant black matte paint to prevent rust.

Can anyone help me get better signal on 68°E which is Intelsat20.
I bought a 70db high gain lnb with 12k noise figure but getting same signal on some TP and no signal on many TP.
With old 13k 60db lnb I'm getting much better signal and catching many more TP but signal quality is not good. Most nice FTA channels don't even scan.
My dish is 4ft prime focus.

My observation: The TP which have issue, show 90% strength and 69% signal quality even when channel is glitching or freezing.
Signal also goes away during day on some TP and work ok at night.
Is the signal gain too high and the receiver is skipping the TP because of it?

So,
Q. Should I get 17k lnb?
Or
Q. Should I get 10k lnb?
Or
Q. Should I get 6ft dish?

Okay, 8ft I won't be able to get. I think I will have to try my luck with 6ft only. But I hope 6ft will be better than 4ft.

Ok, I changed the scalar ring and did some more adjustment and now I'm able to get a lot of TP on 68.5°e.
