C-band on a Ku dish.  Does it work???  Well, here in Georgia, it works on the HOTDISH90 using our famous BSC421.  Is it easy?  Well, it depends on your level or experience.  We didn't have any problem getting pictures.  Of course we know how to set the skew and how to milk every last bit of signal out of the dish and LNBF.  I believe this to be a good option for those that want to watch C-band from a fixed dish, however, you should be aware the satellite you choose should have a strong signal and installation may require a experienced installer.  Be prepared to spend some time and do a little experimenting to find the signal and tweak the dish.
The mighty HOTDISH90 comes out of the warehouse on it's maiden C-band run.












If you look closely, you can see the signal strength.  It's actually very good.  Remember the dish is less than a meter in size.  You can see the channel playing behind the signal meter.
Can you see the reflection on the TV screen.  We're in Georgia where the weather is always great and the sun it always shining.  That's Lance on the left.  I'm the handsome one on the right.
