 In order to receive 437 MHz (70cms) DATV on a standard satellite STB or early MiniTiouners with Sharp or Eardtek tuners, you need to up convert the signal to L band.  Current, version 2, MiniTiouners or PicoTuners using the Serit FTS-4334 (or FTS-4335) tuner cover from 144 MHz to 2450 MHz, so no up-conversion is required.
-For up-conversion (only for standard Satellite STBs or very old version 1 MiniTiouners) there is a consumer device available in the USA which is used on cable networks to up convert UHF signals to L Band where they are then received on a standard satellite box.
