xKu LNB and cheap satellite finder - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

I recently acquired one if the new xKu LNBs with a 75cm dish. As I was trying to point it, I wasn't getting any indications on my satellite finder, even though I was receiving channels on the TV. My finder is just a small $15 type, but it worked with the old dual satellite LNB. Is the new LNB incompatible with low cost satellite finders?

As an update, turns out my satellite finder was bad. A new one worked just fine. Who knew a $9.95 Chinese made satellite finder could be unreliable. Weird </sarcasm>
