[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 23160, member: 175057"] You can get away with typing in the incorrect frequency for the LNB and still receive a signal, all this does is force the receiver into making an incorrect calculation. So by typing in 10 instead of 9.75 say, the frequency that the receiver thinks is 11.250Ghz will in fact be .250Ghz higher, so if there is a channel or transponder on this frequency, you will get a signal strength reading. The only way to check is to move the dish round to 28.2 and see if you can receive all of the free to air channels, or alternatively, look at the LNb and see what it has written on it. If this has been worn off by the weather, the chances are that it may need replacing anyway. [/QUOTE]
