You should add a conical scalar. Your signal will increase. I get g17 cw, fox mux on 3820, jewelry tv, byu, classic arts, sometimes univision, a few other muxes but can’t get them to open. Here’s a pic of my setup.

but seems you are aiming to the BMW right there ;) .

WOW what are you pointing at so vertical the dish. I had that at 30W

Theoretically you do not need a scalar cone. practically he may have listed to me

Will increase signal ? Yes
Will be a pain in the rear to adjust. You have no idea

Many friends and also technicians ask me if that works I said I never tried in formula it should work, The reason that many of you have no access to many stuff that for us is just drive 20 miles

But if you do not have the money or the ways to get a scalar cone. Guys...make it? Use an old aluminum shade from a street light or use Foil and a couple of wire hangers

My Longitude is 85.9.Latitude 31.8.That explains the positioning.
If u notice in pic,there really is not enough room for the big scaler.Also can position LNBF so much better without it
Prob have another 1.2m Primestar Dish,may set up later.But gotta order more LNBF'S,think that was my last one.

You can order them from wish. They take a long time to arrive though. I’m in canada that’s why my dishes are so vertical. My geosatpro 36” aimed on 125w for pbs is almost aiming at the ground!

Yup,offset Dishes are always pointing 22 or more degrees towards the ground than Prime Focus Dishes...

" Use an old aluminum shade from a street light or use Foil and a couple of wire hangers" ....Marsat"

that helps.

the signal increases

but buying a blue conical scalar is the best option.
I have tried both.

important..*****************
The conical scalar is recommended for antennas off sets

Cool that you got it running on a 4 footer.

I have a 4 footer, but haven't gotten around to putting it up. Not sure what I want to use it for; the only satellites I don't have covered with my motorized dishesare probably too far east or west for a 4 footer to pull in anything but the strongest transponders, if even them.

I'm wondering if a conical scalar would help improve signal quality on a 4ft prime focus dish?

Blue conical will only work in Offset dish. Prime focus will work best with flat .

Don't let it fall on its face.
That type of petal, pressed metal dish stretches open like a flower opening if they fall over on the LNB.
