    Who all are using combo C/KU LNBFs

    i bought the 6 ft motorized package from sadoun and it came with the GeoSat C/KU Band LNBF. it picks up very well for the most part,especially from 91 to 133. i dont get RTN off of 83 and 87 is pretty week except on the thistv transponder,but that is more because of my location than the lnb. i...
