Anyways, as for 118w, there are two sats parked there, one at 118.7w and the other is 119w (basically almost on top of each other, so if you aim for one, you get both I suppose)... Both these sats are CP, right... and so, I was able to pick up a signal on 119w using my DTV LNB (CP) fine, but in my Classic menu, it wont let me get 118.7w since those CP transponders broadcast at lower freq range, typically used/reserved for linear freqs, under 12200.

So, in my Classic menu, when I use the Fortec LNB, I have to set it to UNIV LNB (not 10750, though that I may work as well), and then I can try to scan for those freqs under 12200 for 118.7 even though they are CP.... you say this should work, right?

Well, I'll try it out one of these days when I get some free time and it's not raining and cold outside...
you set the universal lo to 9750 10600 the standard lo sets at 10750 the universal allows you to get the transponder freq below 11700.
