My concern Frequency when using dvbtune "12483000" doesnt pick up anything,
yet 1183000 will tune the card just not myth (myth 0.20 or svn). Which LNB
setting is required? LNB Standard (voltage) or LNB Legacy (fixed) ? Help.

Using The New Freq: 12483000 (Full Scan option)
LNB: 11300
Freq: 12483000
Polarity: H
S/R: 22500
FEC: Auto
Inversion: Auto
When Scanning,
Scan: 3% (Doesn't move)
Signal Strength: 84% (hovers between 83-85%)
Then get "Timeout Scanning Frequency 12483000 -- no signal"
Using the Old Freq: 1183000 (Full Scan option)
LNB: 11300
Freq: 1183000
Polarity: H
S/R: 22500
FEC: Auto
Inversion: Auto
When Scanning,
Scan: 3% (Doesn't move)
Signal Strength: 58% (hovers between 58-62%)
Then get "Timeout Scanning Frequency 1183000 -- no signal"
