Kaffeine reports the wrong LNB frequency ranges for universal Europe... I just use Astra 1E settings instead which I am pretty sure is the same?

I am using the stv0299 / dvb_pll(opera1) combi and not reporting any problems other than the streaming issue with dvb-usb-v2 which I don't think this uses?
