Hi, i'm from Brazil and have a dude. In the footprint shows that the 10E have a ku band for Europe and other for Africa. For the Brzil is the C band. I want to know: are the same feeds, same keys, same fta in the ku and c band?

No it is not same frequence and etc..
Because they are video and live stream sending east countries
You are live west country

is a feed horn necessary for an offset dish to get c band signals? does it really increase signal reception or not?

With a 1.06 offset Triax dish with a DMS International BSC421 13K C-Band LNBF.

I get (from North West England) near enough every C-Band transmission from 40°E [Shows Football] &

20°E Nile Sports etc @ 3974 L 27500 [Shows Football]
20°E 2M Monde etc @ 3884 R 27500 [Shows Football]
20°E Qatar TV etc @ 3934 L 27500
10°E Chinese mux CCTV5 @ 3649 L 20160
10°E CIS TV @ 3689 L 1082 (No Signal last Two Weeks) [Shows Football]
5°E AIT National @ 4000 R 3574 & Other Freq's AIT International, WAP TV, Dove TV, TVGE Internacional (Signal Strengths Vary TVGE very strong atm, AIT quite low somedays breakup, Best Blind Scanning this sat often - saving channels youve prev locked!) [Shows Football]
5°W ORTB @ 4154 L 2981, Télé Sahel @ 3647 R 2170, Télé Africa @ 4103 L 1245, RTG1 Gabon @ 4100 L 1944 (Signal Strength ORTB strong atm, Radio @ 4163 L 1500 is good for finding this sat, Best Blind Scanning this sat often - saving channels youve prev locked!) [Shows Football]
11°W Perviy Kanal USA, RTR Planeta USA @ 3662 R 10808 (Not checked for a while!)

Dish arc goes from 15°W to 40°E (Should go to 53E, not scanned beyond 40E as yet) Hope this helps

It doesn't really increase signal but more reduces noise / interference and usually is critical as is it's position. You can use a prime focus c band feed horn or scala plate on an offset dish but at an angle leaning back from the face is best to get a similar result which suggests it's more ground noise and ground based reflections.

Altering the position of a c band feed horn and or lnb can improve some channels while reducing or knocking out reception on others on the same sat.

Hi all!
I just started my DX adventure on C-Band. Which positions are reachable in Poland with 120cm offset dish. Below photos of my dish and LNBF with feedhorn.
