As far as I know, it shouldn't matter whether the actual transmission feed is on C-band or Ku-band. The Low Noise Block (LNB) which sits on the dish will downconvert it to L-band for the input to the card. Unless the nessus has a different input requirement. Of course, you must have a correct LNB which functions at C-band for it to receive on C-band. T.C. ---- Wan Tat Chee (Lecturer) School of Computer Science, Univ.
