The Starchoice linear you have is band-stacked, 2 LO as I know. 22khz tone is used to switch between the LOs. I don't know much about how Starchoice shift the freq. I would recommend you to first use either a standard or universal lnbf for setting up the h-h mount. Once you get the dish tracks the arc correctly, then replace the lnbf with the Starchoice and play with it to figure out how it works.
11250 is for circular. 100% sure it's not for Starchoice. Let's get the dish track the arc OK first, we'll deal with the lnbf type later.

Whenever I try to use it the motor keeps missing the bird I'm trying to point at. It does move the motor just not to the right place.
Regarding the LO.. I have the LNB set to Standard at 11250. Is this correct? This is my setup:

2 Pansat 2500a receivers.
Winegard 76 cm DS2076 Dish
One dual sat quad output Linear LNB (picture here for reference: http://www.quintemusic.com/images/starchoicelnb.jpg)
One dual output circular LNB (NOT dual sat)
Two Microyal SW-22 22Khz (I did have two Hughes 22Khzs switches but changed them)
One SG-2100 Motor

Right now I have the circular LNB hooked up straight through from LNB to motor and motor to receiver without the switch to make sure the dish is set up properly. Once I get it bang on with a couple circular birds I was going to hook up the linear LNB and fine tune a couple linear birds. Then once I know I got the two LNBs set up right and the dish pointed and elevated right I was gonna add the switch. Could you, or someone take a look at the LNB pic in the above link and let me know if I'm correct on how I am going to set this up..

Here's how I was going to set it up:
Main house receiver will be the receiver that will drive the motor.
Hardware setup:
Circular LNB hooked to 22KHz ON input on the switch, Linear to the other input.
Output from switch to LNB connector on Motor, then out to receiver.

Receiver setup:
Linear LNB set up as Standard, Local Freq 11250, 22KHz OFF, DiseqC OFF, Skew 0 degrees, Positioner setting 1.2.
Circular LNB set up as Standard, Local Freq 11250, 22KHz ON, DiseqC OFF, Skew 0 degrees, Positioner setting 1.2.

I am setting up the second receiver the same except it won't be going through the motor so the Poistioner settings will be OFF for both LNBs on this one.

Is this correct or should I change something?
Again thanks, and thanks in advance for further assistance.
