But with reports of mostly no video, and LNBs running around $200, despite the R.F. geek that I am, I couldn't justify the expense just to watch a few blips on a spectrum analyzer.

Recently Lyngsat listed a few video channels and serendipitously, a few NIB New Japan Radio Co. PLL LNBs for this band showed up on ebay for $50 plus shipping (albeit without...
