OK, I'm doing exactly the same thing (FTA channels in UK using sky minidish
using a kworld dvb s-100).

When I get L_s it normally means theres nothing currently being broadcasted.
This is frequent on some of the B-rated channels. Try BBC News 24 (default
channel number 6304), or try another channel but in peak hours (around
8'ish). Also, if you've not changed anything on your sky dish, for the
Diseqc settings you should only have an LNB added (no switches or anything),
set to 'Universal (Europe)' with 'Universal, voltage and tone' (basically
the default settings).

Hope that helps.
