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?

Re the DTV lnbf, right, unless you rotate the whole dish, or take the lnbf off the DTV dish, which is what I did. You don't have to connect those things via the rectangular thing at the end, if you're mounting on another dish.

You should be able to pick up some of the AMC16 things (although I think they were all scrambled) with your 80CM. If it's a UNIV, just use the regular 9750/10600. My 10750 example was for a standare lnbf, not UNIV.
I think that with my big dish I locked nearly all the transponders using a linear feed, however if I remember right (it was several months ago), with the 90CM, I wasn't getting all the transponders. I blamed it on not being able to fine tune the polarity like I could with the polarotor.
