It just seems that your LNB is no normal Ku band one.So you must have have one with another local-oszilator frequency (C-Band?).Wikipedia tells me: "A typical C-band satellite uses 3.7–4.2 GHz for downlink."Local oscillator: 5.15 GHz It should be enough to configure the software using the correct LO frequency. Then you should be able to receive the channel.
