Capture angle of a lnb

[jazzmanthe]

There is a few satellites coming into use that are "close" to each other, such as 1W/ 0.8W, 9E/10E etc and the new pairing of 4.8E/5E.

So I'm wondering, just what the "capture angle" of a lnb is. I know I can presently capture up to 1 degree separation, but just how far can you push it?

It's down to the dish beamwidth itself.
