The nice thing about using 12239 as the default setting for ES7 and 12224 for ES8/10 is that it will help you to ensure you have the LNB settings in the correct order, as well as the antenna pointed correctly.  Transponder 12224 will not have any signal quality on ES7.  If it does, you probably have them backwards (technically this would be an aiming issue that would result in only achieving signal from 1 of the 2 satellites.)
