2) My second question is regarding a a particular channel, ZEE TV at lyngsat its shows that it is available on INtelSat805 and says DVB. I assume I wud be able to watch that channel with M1 system (ku) I came across a post on this forum saying that its available on C band? How would I know from lyngsat list if a channel is available on C band or Ku band.
Would appreciate your help ... more questions as they pop up!
BTW great job and this is a wonderful forum for FTA!
Keep it up.

Sats are listed by the longitude of their location. Your true south sat is the sat at your longitude. If there is no sat at that location you use the nearest sat to that location. Is your reading of 180 compensating for magnetic deviation?
As stated in an earlier response the tp freq's listed at lyngsat are either 4 digit or 5. 4 is C Band and 5 is Ku. Example:
4140V23570 is a tp freq of 4140, it is vertical in polarity and the sr is 23570 This would be a C Band tp.
12170H5156 is a tp freq of 12170, it is horizontal in polarity and the sr is 5156. This would be a Ku tp.
I have only seen sr's that are 4 or 5 digit and they have no bearing (as far as I can tell) on the band. The tp freq designates band.
While you are at lyngsat you are looking for DVB and F. You will also find entries for DCII and VCII. This is not viewable by the receiver in M1
Also Zee TV has an outstanding picture!
