Re: Lifetime basic questions and problem saving sat location
1. We are trying to protect your Fortec Lifetime.
2. L-band = freq - Lnbf LO

Which component am I protecting - the Lifetime or the analog Toshiba?

Does this question make any sense?

Can't speak for other brands, but the Toshiba 120 requires to key in L-band so you need convert the freq to L-band.
Check out the link below for the instruction of how to set up the Toshiba 100/120. Hopefully, it can be used for your analog model.

I not sure I grasp what you mean here - "convert the freq to L-band"? Let's say I want to tune the SES Americom test card on AMC9 12080V. With my universal LNB upper LO of 10600, the freq my Lifetime sees would be 1480, right? And that gets passed along to the Toshiba, right? But my Toshiba will only accept frequencies from 950-1450. So how do I pass along a signal that's within the freq range the analog Toshiba can use? (Can't be done for satellite freqs above 12050, I'm beginning to think, unless I get an LNB with a different LO.)
I have the original manual for my Toshiba analog receiver (TRX-1820) and everything on the link you sent is in there. There's nothing in the manual that talks about the ability to shift the usable range of incoming freqs.
