There's a page on pvr.geek.nz that notes that what number you provide to
-f depends on your LNB..

See: http://pvr.geek.nz/w/index.php/DVB-S_Setup

I would suggest you don't have an old Sky LNB (with 11.3GHz LOF offset),
but a new one (10.75GHz offset) or possibly a universal.

Also, if you do tune to a transponder, do a scan as suggested on
pvr.geek.nz page, since that will tell you what you're really tuned to.=20
