First of all , if you think I am wasting my effort then please don't comment on this thread, It is an experiment, I already assume the possibility of complete failure, but still I want to try. So, I put an old Gardner lnb on my d2h dish, then set my dish to asiasat 7 , some movement of signal strength on some TPs, but not enought to lock any of them. Maybe I am not getting the skew right, I have no experience with C dish or lnb. Then I tried ST which has strongest EIRP values; nothing there either, got some movement on one tp but again 22% SS means the dish is not big enough. I will try some other sats too and report back. I took this up out of curiosity, I am really not bothered about what I get out of it.

In my village many years back I used to have gardiner lnb and 8 feet dish and I did many experiments with it without any help.
At that time Gardiner LNBs were very costly and even more than what a c band dish costs these days.I even bought a S band lnb to get Insat signals.Also remember there were no mobiles,internet,dth,ku band or any source of info about satellites except a magazine from Bombay.Rest all was guess work.
Still managed to get many channels from Russian satellites,Asiasat which I think was only 1 at that time,Insat etc.Few existing satellites were not there then.
Now I live in city with.2 ku dishes ie 1 in the balcony for laosat/telstar and another on sixth floor terrace for yahsat.
So I like experiments and waiting eagerly for your results with scalar ring.
Best of luck.
