The problem described on kaos and on many other reports that I have seen is that either the Horizontal or Vertical are not working as a whole, these are people with two boxes working off the same lnb.
My skybox is attached to its own lnb - the Technomate TM-2 Twin LNB, by itself. (newly bought at the same time hence the trouble to find the root cause the skybox or the lnb)
I have just done a some more testing, and I think I have narrowed it down. I tested the tps with my pc card.
10774H and 10892H - pc card sees something but with lots of packet loss (similar to low signal i guess), now at night with clear sky the signal is showing on the skybox with Strength 88% but Quality jumping around from 10-25%, this did not do this this afternoon when cloudy.
11153? - dont know details, forget this one
11465H - this locked on both pc card and skybox, dont know why this is listed.
11553H - no lock on both
12721H - no lock on both
I said in a previous post of this thread that there are a good amount of TP's that are signal strength 88% but the quality is jumping from 10-35% however these channels still display.
As I dont have any problems with any of the tps for 28.2 this has lead me to believe that it might not be the voltage out issue.
What I suspect with the first and last two frequencies in the list above and the tps reporting low quality on the skybox, is probably because I haven't aligned the lnb correctly.
Trying to realign the lnb will only cost my time to find out, however I dont know how much patience I am going to have with it.
