------Yet another example of people trying to change the LO freq to match a satellite. THe LO freq should always be set at what the specs for the LNBF are, and has nothing to do with what satellite you are trying to watch.

Who said I was trying to change the freq.

I said when I select for example, just a twin lnbf it shows: Legacy Twin-2(11250) So I figure that the lnbf needs to be within that (11250) range. No I did not even try to change the freq to 11250. I've been installing direcway-hugesnet since 2001. Anyhow I was trying to select an lnbf that would be within the 11250 coverage range just to see if my lnbf would work, which now I know it won't.

So I need a qph-031

thanks rainman and wejones
I still read what you said the same way. What I was trying to say is that you said you have an SNH031 lnbf. This lnbf is a universal with LO freqs of 9.750 & 10.600 GHz. Your receiver should always be set for that type LNBF, no matter what sat you're trying to receive. When you switch to a circular DBS lnbf, then it is correct to switch the settings to 11250 because that is the LO freq of those lnbfs, but you said that you tried changing the lnbf setting on the receiver to 11250 mhz when using the SNH031, which isn't correct, as you found out.

Even in this message, you said that you thought that "
the lnbf needs to be within that (11250) range", which tells me that you were thinking that you need to set the lnb type to match the satellite rather than to match the lnbf. I may be interpreting what you said wrong,if so, I'm sorry, but that's why I responded that way, and it still seems to read that way.
