Dr.Dish:
Ther are no dummy questions!
In order to get the four digits you have to know what local oszillator
frequency is used. It could be for the Ku-Band 10.0 or 9.75 GHz in low band.
If you got a 9.75 GHz LNB just take the given receiving frequency: 11.745
and subtract die LOH of 9.75.
11.745
-9.750
------
 1.995

This would be the four digits you have to enter. Much easier to convert is
the LOF of 10.0 GHz:

 11.745
-10.000
--------
  1.745

The same is with the high band. Twi differenr LOF´s are in use: 10.600 and
10.750 GHz. Again subtract the LOF from the given receiving frequency
(between 11.7 and 12.75 GHz).

For c-band the LOF is usually 5.150 GHz. But here you have to extract the
receiving frequency (say: 4.056 GHz) from the LOF:
 5.150
-4.056
-------
 1.094
