Hi,
Looking at a
DTV dish/LNB which picks up CP sats, you can't "turn" the LNB any direction. It connects to the LNB arm in one direction, so I would think there's no concept of "skew" for CP sats...
As for AMC 16 (118.7w),I read on another site that that it is indeed some hybrid/special sat that broadcasts is some funky circular polarity format, but its frequency output values are typically linear frequencies. I tried to pick this signal (any signal really) when I aimed here and set my LO to 11250 (for CP) but in the Fortec
Classic, it would not let me blind scan to lower freq ranges that belongs to LP transponders (an artificial SW limit I guess since it assumes no CP broadcast in this lower freq range)...
However I have heard reports of people with LP LNB can pick up those lower freq TPs but they signal strength is really low, like 40-50% and it's spotty at best.
I also saw a post for a "special" LNB that was designed to pick up those TPs for that particular sat... (heh)...
