"Operation not supported" implies either the driver or the hardware
isn't working quite right. I'd be a little cautious about assuming
that Optus B1 is to blame.

It's a more powerful transmitter. That's why they are touting it as
reducing rain fade. But I'm not convinced it's the signal that's
causing your problems.
