Tried the C/Ku setup using the universal setting of 5150/10750 today with the micro HD and DMX741 LNBF combo since I had to recently switch out the C2 for servicing. I find it works fine, did a scan on G19 97W and it certainly scanned both bands. I did the detailed blind scan and on this satellite to do both bands it took a few seconds more than 12 minutes to complete. Also set to FTA only and TV channel only. In that time frame it found 227 FTA channels. It scans the C-band side first then goes on to the Ku. You can edit the scan frequencies for start and finish, limited to the start on C-band to the end frequency on Ku. This is fine with me, no editing was needed as it came up with 3700 and 12200 as the start and end.
Also did a detail scan on G16 99W, took a bit less time 10m 35 sec due to less active Ku TPs.
I am using a 10' parabolic not specifically tuned for Ku and not tuned that perfectly for C-band right now I didn't use the analyzer to adjust the LNBF position when I recently switched units. Most Ku TPs on 97w are showing 70%-80%Q on the micro. Clear sky.
This way you only need one satellite in the list for each orbital position if you are only using a BUD for C and Ku. I have been using a 90cm motorized dish for most Ku these days except for AMC-1
-C.

This is good news for two-band ortho users.
Two C-band LNBs to the non-22khz inputs of your multiswitch, and two Ku LNBs to the 22khz inputs.
You'd think somebody planned this!
I do take issue with the word Universal in the topic, though.
But after reading the thread it was clear no Universal LNBs were involved.

Not sure I follow the question.
Around here somewhere we have a definitive thread in what ortho feeds are, and how to handle them.
Pendragon wrote two great threads on modifying multiswitches to properly power 'em.
But getting Universal Ku on an ortho, is a rare problem few have felt with.
I think Pendragon grafted a Ku Invacom to his to meet the challenge.
I fear I might be over thinking your question .

Ok will search for the "Pendragon modified multiswitches" as it sounds more efficient than separate power injectors, H/V switches and 22KHz switches. Just too many switches!
I am really only referring to the C/Ku "standard" LNBF combo for this particular thread, but an ortho would interest me as I seem to have a few C-band LNBs hanging around and one Ku LNB somewhere in it's box from when I retired my Corotor II. Lots of $$ and goes against my "keep it simple stupid" frame of mind for my FTA endevours. Then again we must play... after all what's a hobby without trying something different one in a while??
Think this is the thread youare referring too:

Actually, this is the ortho-intro thread I was thinking about.
It does link to both Pendragon switch-mod threads, and provides basic introduction to ortho feeds.
http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/258930-Got-a-C-Ku-Orthomode-Now-What?highlight=ortho+feed
In searching, you may find that I've referenced this info multiple times.
Good info is well worth repeating.
Anyway, to return to topic, the microHD is very ortho-friendly.
For those wanting an explanation of ortho feeds, links have been provided.

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
