    Trying to add Ku

    Just a thought.... Is there any chance the Ku is 90° off. i.e. horizontal is vertical and vice versa ? you can try changing it in the receiver setup = rotated 90° not sure if that option works with a corotor - I know it works with LNBF when using voltage switched polarity.

    Trying to add Ku

    To reflect Ku band signals off a BUD you need the very small hole mesh or solid surface. What type of dish surface do you have ? An option would be a separate Ku dish - 30" would probably be sufficient.

    X-4 Ku Package on 4DTV

    Yes, you need a Ku lnb for X4. primestar dish will work fine - that's what I have. Most of the original primestar LNBFs have 2 separate outs - 1 for H, 1 for V polarity. You could use 2 cables to the 920. Or you can replace the LNB with one that has polarity switching by 13V/18V. I found an...
