So how can i program it to search for that transponder without a frequency rate and then get it to work on my analog receiver.
Here is a way to figger this thing out.
Point your FTA digital to AMC9. You hopefully have at least one vertical and one horizontal transponder programmed in your FTA receiver.
Choose the horizontal one and try to view that channel.
Now, piggy-back the IF out on the digital receiver into the Ku input of your analog receiver.
What you are doing is allowing the digital receiver to set up the LNB for horizontal viewing and the analog receiver is just along for the ride. What ever the LNB is seeing on the horizontal plane, is being fed into the analog receiver.
Go through the channels on the analog receiver and look for something in the clear. You should at least see the test pattern on CH19 (TP19-12080H).
There is nothing to figure out with analog reception. It is either vertical or horizontal and you use the digital receiver to switch between them.
You may have to set up your receiver properly to view the transponders, but that is all the setup you need to do. Most satellites have the following frequency layout:
TP1 = 11.720 GHz
TP2 = 11.740 GHz
TP3 = 11.760 GHz
.
. keep adding 20 MHz to each "channel" up to CH24
.
TP22 = 12.140 GHz
TP23 = 12.160 GHz
TP24 = 12.180 GHz
SBS6 has a different frequency layout, it is as follows:
TP1 = 11.7250 GHz
TP2 = 11.7495 GHz
TP3 = 11.7740 GHz
.
. keep adding 24.5 MHz to the frequency
.
TP18 = 12.1415 GHz
TP19 = 12.1660 GHz
Viola!
P.S. This frequency plan only applies if your LNB's LO is 10.750. If yours is 10.600, you need to add 150Mhz to the frequencies above in your receiver (if it will adjust that far).
