Some results - not good :-(
I should say, before providing these, that my dish is not close to being precisely aligned.
However...
19.2E
11436 V 22000 Lock/Unlock on display, no Lock LED
11464 H 22000 Lock/Unlock on display, no Lock LED
11992 H 27500 Lock/Unlock on display, no Lock LED
12012 V 29700 Lock/Unlock on display, no Lock LED
28.2E
10847 V 23000 Lock/Unlock on display, no Lock LED
11023 H 23000 Lock/Unlock on display, no Lock LED
11126 V 22000 Lock on display, Lock LED!
So...assuming Lyngsat is correct about 11126 on 28.2 being DVB-S2, I managed to get a lock on a single DVB-S2 transponder. Otherwise my results were largely like yours - fluctuating Lock/Unlock on the display, and no Lock LED. The amount of fluctuation varied per frequency - some would display Lock on the display for longer than others, some continually flipped between Lock/Unlock, none got a solid lock to the extent that the LED lit.

King of Sat lists 11126/7 as DVB-S, so I'm suspecting Lyngsat is wrong and, like folk above, I can't lock any DVB-S2 channels properly with this meter either.
