If the LNBF is a standard Foxtel type, it should only have an LO of 10700 on all ports.
A universal LNBF will have hi/lo LO frequencies, but these are usually switched with a 22kHz tone and Foxtel don't use universal types for domestic installations.
I downloaded and read the little information there was on the SH-100HD meter manual and noted:
Important Notes: If you need use the Quad or OCTO LNB, please switch the receiver LNB
power to 18V.
(18V is for horizontal transponders, 13V is for vertical transponders)
Are you making sure you have a horizontal transponder on all satellites selected to tune with 10700 LO?
Dishpointer.com info is approximate... you must make all adjustments using the meter or watching a screen from a decoder, displaying a signal quality scale.
Azimuth and elevation figures are generally close, but skew is often out and I don't think it takes into account the difference between Optus sats and others.
Optus sats have a different skew angle.
Skew varies on your location, which you haven't mentioned.
As a guide, for Australian east coast states, Optus sats will have an LNB skew of somewhere between the 6-7 O'clock position of the output connectors when viewed from the front of the dish.
IS19 will have an LNB skew of somewhere between the 5-6 O'clock position of the output connectors when viewed from the front of the dish.
Once again, these are starting settings only as a guide and you need to peak the signal quality readings by making tiny adjustments.
Yes, it's possible to have two LNBF's on a single dish but there is a compromise in signal levels and IS19 and D2 are quite a distance apart.
Dishes larger than the standard Foxtel dish of 65cm are generally required for this type of setup to work well.... and a bit tricky to set up.
Separate dishes would provide a more reliable result and much easier to align.
In both instances, you would connect the two LNBF's with a diseqc switch, to select between the two LNBF's.
What other sats you can receive will depend on your location and if you have a clear signal path to them, if the transponder footprint covers your area and if your receiver is able to decode the transmissions.
Hope this helps.
