The LNB that goes with DTV dish is CP and is fitted one way only, you cant turn anything on it.

[quote=wejones;37967] Ie this means they won't tune below 12200 if you're using a 11250 LO freq, and it won't tune below 11700 if you're using 10750, and won't tune above 4200 if you're using 5150. It will tune about 1000 MHz above the lower limit. Ie I think my Fortecs will tune up to about 12700 using 10750, but won't go below 11700.

Yes, the above quote is what I am finding... when I hooked my my dtv/cp LNB to point at AMC 16 (118.7w) and set my matching LO to 11250, I tried to pick up the lower freqs listed in Lyngsat, but it would NOT let me go any lower than 12200 to get those TPs.

So, are you saying that instead I can use my 80cm dish and Linear LNB point to there and use LO of UNIV/10750 and try to pick up those freqs even though they are broadcast in this funky circular polarity fashion?
