The antenna setup, like LNB info, is determined by your lnb not the sat you're trying to scan. So if your still using the lnb you've been using on the linear sats, nothing would change. But of course if you are still using your linear lnb, then besides the fact that there is very little FTA, it is difficult to get a lock on channels on all except Echo 9, due to interferrence since, the linear lnb can't separate the L/R polarization. But if you are lucky, you should be able to scan in a couple music channels, and/or NASA TV or something with a linear lnb. I use a 2nd circular lnb (11250 LO) strapped on to the side of my feedhorn when I want to go look for anything fta, however it's very rare anymore that anything will be fta, except for the 2 or 3 channels that are always fta.
