ok, as I await the arrival of a loaner remote, for the borrowed C/Ku analog Legend receiver I have, using electric I haven't paid for yet....
This is what I've found:
I have the Ultra connected to C/Ku combination LNB.
Tuned to G11 at 91W. Am sitting on
C band channel Horizontal polarity channel, watching WB on the tv hooked to the Ultra.
Legend receiver is "stuck" on Ku band, because the front buttons wont let me move off of Ku. OK fine. There are 2 sats programmed in Ku on this thing GE K1 and GE K2 (whatever that means).
Went to Radio Shack and bought a DC block, and installed it on back of Ultra's IF loop output port. RG-6 cable goes to Legend reciever's Ku input port.
I am on the K2 selection. I can cycle thru 32 channels. I get to channel 32, and get a torn up signal. Looks like the old days cable scrambled picture where they take out the horizontal hold... I can adjust the Mhz up and down on the analog receiver, and go up to +6mhz and thats the best I can get. No picture lock, but I can adjust the sound and can hear that it's the NBC nightly news. That has now ended, and currently it's a bit after 7pm, and I hear a tone off and on... probably a slate showing the transponder etc.
Now, if I go back to the ultra, and move off of "H" polarity, I lose the signal. If I move from Universal 1 to Standard, or even C band LNB freq, nothing changes on the analog box. How strange is that???
I would have expected the Ultra box to adjust the LNB freq, but all I can really seem to change to have an effect is the H or V - no matter what band C or Ku, or transponder freq I pick - the result is the same.
