I'll move to SBS 6 and see what I can find.
I think I mis-understood your first port. Yes, the "WE" thing is on C-band. I just now did an experiment to simulate what you did, ie I connected my C-band COAX to the Ku port of my analog receiver. And I got I think 3 torn up channels, the one with WE and one other that were VCII channels and the Jewelry channel, which is not scrambled. All three were torn up with reversed video like I stated above. I think the difference between VCII and Ku format is that VCII is reversed AND is missing sync pulses. I think that this means that your Ultra isn't able to switch your LNBF from C to Ku or something like that (I'm not familiar with your LNBF). Ie I'm assuming that you're supposed to be able to switch between C and Ku via 22 KHz or something??? Or do you have separate cables or something??
