LNB Setup

Hi, anyone know what the "LNB Low Band LO Frequency (Ghz)" and "High Band LO Frequency (Ghz)" mean in the LNB setup menu of a digibox ?

It's the local oscillator frequencies of the LNB.

For a Universal LNB (by far the most common), the low band frequency is 9.750 GHz

High band frequency - 10.600 GHz

Cheers Llew. I've obviously already started changing them and got all sorts of results. At one point signal and quality maxed out! and then again I had to reboot the digibox... Is there any point in changing them ? Could you for instance "focus" the LNB on specific freqs this way ? or perhaps what are they there for ( in the installers menu ) ?

My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum.

There is nothing to be gained in changing those settings, unless by a few points to match an offset in LNB LO frequency, or if you are not using a universal LNB.
