It shows up as FTA on Lyngsat when I look at it, and the date is relatively old, so I'm confused. However it seems to be on a low band C-band. I'm not sure whether my C-band lnb goes down that far (up on the IF). I know that my Ku lnb goes that far on the high side, but I've never tried going low on the C-band, and % wise it is pretty far out of band. Seems like it COULD work though, since the IF is higher. I'll have to try that.


EDIT: I just tried this channel, and it scanned in fine, yes, it's FTA. Actually stronger than channels that are within the 3700-4200 LNB specs.
