IF11.70~12.75GHz OF 950~2000 MHz Lo 10.75GHz nois fig 0.5 db single KU band LNBF Looks like a direct tv.
I started by just searching the sky blindly in the approx azmus and elev with no luck I called the guy I bought it from about a meter and he said I needed a $300.00 meter and a cheap one was not much good .I bought one from sadoun for $29.00 spent another day or more searching .then I tryed changing to a primestar 4' dish much easyer to adjust but didn't get G10r or anything else . I now search by setting the elevation somewhere then turning the dish til the meter is at it higest reading with the lowest db gain .I then move elevation a little and turn the dish alittle to get a high reading. all the time the wife is in the house watching the quality bar I hope.I set G10R to trans 11732/h/15450/3/4 lnb freq to 10750 22 KHz on 0/12 v on DISeqc disabled positioner disabled FTA only YES what kind of lnb do I need for G10r also this is a stationary dish

First, yes, as you said in later post, I think you just need to keep trying.
I'm not familiar with the receiver you have, but I see someone selling a bunch of them on Ebay, and it looks like it should work, provided you get it set up right, although it does lack
AC3 audio and doesn't seem to have blind search. But for the channels on G10r, it should be fine.
The LNB specs you quote sound like a standard linear (not like a DirecTV), which should be fine for G10r. As you said you did, you need to set the LO freq in your receiver to 10750. I don't think that you should need the 22KHz turned on, since you didn't mention having a switch of any kind, but that shouldn't matter. Most standard lnbfs switch between H and V polarization by switching voltage between 13 and 18V, but some don't. A Primestar lnbf I once used didn't switch polarity at all, and
DTV and Dishnet lnbfs have complicated switching. But we can probably assume that yours is standard 13/18 switching. Since your dish is stationary though, make sure that you have the lnbf rotated to the proper angle for your longitude. The
installation page on the Sadoun site has a good description of this.
HOWEVER..... if you are looking for G10r, the transponder specs you mention are not correct. look at Lyngsat for G10r, :
http://www.lyngsat.com/g10r.html
There is an 11733 transponder but the SR is not 15450 as you indicate, plus I'm not confident that the SR listed in Lyngsat is accurate either. I would recommend trying the transponder at 11800 with SR =26657. Many people seem to have problems with the 11720 transponder, but most people get the 11800 signal strong. After you tune in on that one, you should be able to then find the other ones. The primestar dish should give you a much stronger signal, however it will require being even more accurate in your aim. But after you find the signal, you may need to experiment with the focal length of the LNB a bit, since it may not be shaped quite the same as the lnb you have.
Anyway, keep trying. I think you should be able to get a strong signal with the Primestar dish, and once you get it figured out, you might be able to hook up the smaller dish aimed at another sat.
