How am I getting this?

While resetting my KU dish, I found QuetzSat 1 at 77. I scanned and got these signals. My qusetion is how. I have a linear LNB yet these are listed as circular. Is it that their signal is so strong that they are picked up. Would I be able to get other circular signals? Anyone experience this? Thanks in advance.

Thete is an approximate 3dB attenuation when receiving circular polarity on a linear polarity feed and visa versa. Many satellite signals are strong enough to be attenuated 3dB and still decode. Just depends on the reflector size and if optimized.

Will likely duplicate each transponder and service on both polarities lists within the band pass frequency range of the LNBF.

Thank you. That is what I thought.
 
Did you read my freak-out when my dish had a sheet of ice on the lower half and circular sats were coming in strong?
Ice melted, signals back to way low.
I just peaked signal on 40.5W and am getting 6.5-11 dB. Blind scanned (no depolarizer) and added the results to my satellites.xml.
Polarities are mixed with L,R & H,V. But what makes the difference is that +/- 1 MHz and just a little variance in sr.
