What LNBF type should I set in the receiver setting?
I think I was leading you in the wrong direction on this. You probably have it right. I think that lnbf should be a"universal 9750/10600 ", which I think is probably what you chose. Initially, I thought it was strange that you came up with 25 scrambled channels without scanning in any FTA channels, and I thought that maybe you happened upon one of the DBS sats, and had the wrong LO freq programmed. However I had forgotten about Echo 9 and AMC-15 or maybe one of the Canadian sats that have lots of scrambled channels, so you probably got aimed at one of those sats. So you're probably OK on the LO setting. Sorry. However, you should check to make sure that that LO setting is correct on each sat. I have an Ultra instead of a Classic, and the Ultra has a tendency of losing the LO setting if you have too many ttransponders saved. But with a new receiver, you are probably OK.
You may just be able to use the identity of those scrambled channels to tell you what sat you are on though, because it is possible that you aren't on the sat you think you are, but are just offset a bit to the east or west.
