C-band small dish project

After several attempts, I finally figured out how to get my C-band small dish project working great at 99W, now considering adding additional C-band LNBFs to this same dish to try and pick up 95W & 97W as well, since I was able to also get channels from 95W & 97W while trying to get this working. Actually I'm getting 3 channels bleeding over from 97W, but they are weak. I'm thinking of modifying a couple of Conical Scalar Rings to make a triple LNBF setup with a custom bracket as well. Has anyone tried something similar to this? Should this work?

About three years ago I played around with a DTV AT9 dish and got about the same results. A year later tried a hot dish 90 and the results weren't as good. Removing the lens cap scored a few points. One thing I was contemplating but never tried, was modifying the blue feed to conform to the oval dish parameters. I was going to use a dremel tool to try and match the feed to the dish, but just did not get around to it.

As a last resort where space and LOS are at a premium, I guess this is a way to receive something viewable.
 
You have had better results than i had when i last tried to get C Band. I used a 1.1m Triax TD110 dish with a DMS international C Band lnb and Conical scaler kit for an offset dish. The results in Europe weren't good. If i remember rightly i only managed to get about 3 or 4 channels and they were marginal at best.

There isn't a fat lot of stuff up there in Europes Sky that can be gotten with a dish under 1.5m.

You may also try the lnb without the scalar ring. The lnb tube or waveguide is not long enough for the scalar ring to be set correctly for most dishes that are smaller than 1.8 meters in diameter. Some transponders may be stronger without using any scalar ring.
