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 required 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.
However, before use on 70cms, they either require hardware modification as described in CQ-TV 239 or the use of the Diseqc controller as described in CQ-TV 250.
