Yes I have had it both on and off no difference, also did a blind scan with the 741 installed it picked up both H&V transponders. Still the same exit out of the setup menu no signal. Its like it turns off the voltage to the lnb. I metered the voltage at the dish 13v&18v.
I don't believe that the 920 can work with an universal type LNBF. Remove the 4DTV receiver and connect directly from the 8000HD to the KU section of the LNBF. Set the LNB type to standard / LO frequency 10600 with the 22KHz ON.

I am not using the 920 am using the Captain 8000hd it has universal setting. when I removed the 920 and reinstalled the corotor it was on veritcal so I can watch any v channel on 97w. Just can't get the 741 to hold signal out of the setup menu.
Connect the LNBF KU output directly to the 8000HD. Delete all channels. Set the LNB type to standard / LO 10750, 22KHz ON. Perform a Power Scan.
Do all H/V channels scan in? Are they on correct frequencies and polarities?

I have the 741U sent to me as replacement by mistake for a 741 standard, I have manual scan auto scan and blind scan on this receiver. I want to purchase a Openbox s10 but not if I can't get this lnb to work. I didn't delete channels when I did a blind scan.
You are going to have to manually add transponders then.
I have a Unimesh 10' with that same LNBF & it works great.
In your receiver menu (the Captain)
Set the C band to port 1 22KHz "off"
Set the Ku band to port 2 22KHz "On"
97w Galaxy 19 for instance
C band 5150 tp 3922 v 3425
Ku 9750 - 10600 tp 11966 h 22000
