Understanding LNB Frequencies and Transponder Frequencies

[Galaxy-Marketing.com]

Here is a good piece of information that most people don't realize. 

These are LNB types and frequencies:

DSS Circular LNB = 12.2GHz-12.7GHz
Standard FSS Linear LNB = 11.7GHz-12.2GHz
Universal FSS Linear LNB = 10.7GHz-12.7GHz

Keeping the above frequency range in mind, now let's look at the frequency ranges of your transponder.  Keep in mind that the transponder frequencies are presented in MHz. 

All DISH Network, DirecTV, and BEV satellites on DSS have transpnder frequencies that don't go below 12200MHz and don't go above 12700MHz.

All Ku band FSS satellites within North America have transponder frequencies ranging no less than 11700MHz and no more than 12200MHz.  For example, on Galaxy 25, the first Ku band transponder frequency is 11716 MHz and the last TP is 12177 MHz.

Now that you know this, cross reference the transponder frequencies and the LNB Input Frequency.  Does this start to make sense a bit more?
