Install sdr sharp
set to spy server network (source)
in the space below paste the following address: sdr://80.229.173.194:55557
click on play, yu now have live feed of the narrow band, direct to your sdr client.
for viewing the TV try some of the links below

Universal LNB’s work by the receiver selecting one quarter of the channels at any one time. It does this by alternating the voltage between 13V and 18V which will enable the LNB to switch between Horizontal and vertically polarised signals. A 22kHz tone then switches the LNB from a low and high band. Hence a quarter of the channels at any one time. Vertical Low, vertical high, horizontal low, horizontal high.
Satellite signals are beamed down from the satellites in space to the satellite dish at a frequency which is far too great to be contained by the coaxial cable. At this point the signals are oscillated to fall down to a frequency band – Satellite intermediate frequency (IF) which sits just above the UHF band used for terrestrial TV and 4G internet signals and has a bandwidth of around half of that which was previously available before being oscillated. So the universal LNB will oscillate one half of the frequency band at a great rate than the other half, hence the high and low band.
Ku-Band, which is divided in a low band from 10.7GHz to 11.7GHz (Lo: 9.75 GHz) and a high band from 11.7GHz to 12.75GHz
on eshailsat 2 we are looking at a receive frequency of 10489690 MHz take away the Local Oscillator (LO of 9.75GHz) gives us 739Mhz. 739 is where we point our SDR or receiver.
GNURADIO can be used on hackrf etc as an ssb transmitter using blocks created by DL9SW

For the wideband TV stuff you can start reading on here, looks like to just get the beacon (wide signal) you change the crystal in the lnb and tune your sky box. more later when I have time to test
