    oh ok.. so since the lbnf package says its RF is 11.70/12.20GHz, then this is standard right? I feel the problem is in the setup, not necessarily the pointing. Because I took the TV thing to the roof, trid seeting up on both the IA 97 and G 10 123 and nada. The sat manual not too intuitive...

    Thanks IceBerg! Well back to the roof (and I gotta be at work in 30 mins ) My neighbours must think I'm a cat burgular by now. I'm surprised no one called the cops as yet. I access the roof thru a window, so I can see how it could be mistaken for a burgular.. Hope nobody calls the cops...
