The only thing I am worried about is if the KU LNB (The one that is aimed at 95) is only one polarity (since Direct only uses the H side)

Last time I looked,
DTV had transponders on both polarities, although most were on one polarity. The one or two on the other polarity might be for some other package. But DTV definately had transponders on both polarities.
EDIT: See

and

For what transponders were in use on G3c several months ago.
EDIT-2: I just tuned to G3C, and they have made some confusing changes to the channels there. I'm no longer able to see the content of the channels on vertical polarity for some reason. I can see that the channels are still there, but I can no longer see what the channels are. :-(
The horizontal channels still seem to work like before, although I haven't checked to see that the channels are the same.
Strange.
Doesn't change the above comment, which was true several months ago, but the delivery of the vertical channels now seems to be different for some reason.
EDIT-3: There seem to be 3 DTV muxes on the vertical side above 11700, ie 11735, 11795, and 11915. These seem to be part of the DIRECTV Latin America network, or at least the NIT in the muxes lists them that way. The DTV transponders on the horizontal side, ie 11720, 11840, 11900, 11930, 11960, 11990, and 12140 seem to be part of the DIRECTV US network, ie the International channels. When I was able to extract the channel numbers several months ago, the channels on the vertical side seemed to be duplicates of channels found on the regular 101 sat. I just assumed that they must be sold along with the foreign channels, however perhaps they were being sold to spanish language customers?? So you may be right that the International customers may not need vertical polarity.
