I already have the LNB for offset (off ebay). So just looking at pricing i may be better off buying an offset dish and set that up rather than a prime focus LNB.
I did align the offset lnb. However, the austar would not lock (this was likely due to the size of the bracket i bought and the lack of perfect dish alignment). To top it off the cable i bought seems to be shorting or something. So that created crappy issues. I've put the old LNB back rotated 90 deg past skew for Austar.
It was a very annoying task. Because the dish was extremely hard to get around it's mounted on a pole so it's hard to get to with a ladder. Also i'd snapped that crucial bolt off.
However, I'd imagine a offset won't be overly hard. It's got to be easier than the crap I've gone through with this dish.
The other house here seems to have 3 dishes. 1 internet and 2 others might see what the others are and if i can take them.
Not sure if i leave VAST on the prime focus and just put austar on the offset or both vast (only needs 13000 and vertical right?) and austar.
I assume 85cm will be adequate.
