Click on the little file folder icon next to the tuner to expand it if it isn't already open (do this whenever the little symbol next to the folder icon contains a + symbol) and you should see another line that shows the name of the tuner, it will say something like "TurboSight TBS 6985 DVBS/S2 frontend : DVB-S #0:A". Click on that line and in the right hand settings panel that appears you should see a line for "SatConfig:" and you need to set that dropdown to "Advanced (Non-Universal LNBs, Rotors, etc.)" and
then click the Save button. Only after you do that will another line appear under the tuner that says the same thing as the dropdown you just selected, "Advanced (Non-Universal LNBs, Rotors, etc.". Click on THAT line and for now just set the number of "Orbital Positions:" if necessary, by default it is one but if you are using a tone or DiSEqC switch on that tuner input then select the actual number of LNB's that can be selected using that tuner, and
then click the Save button. Then under the "Advanced (Non-Universal LNBs, Rotors, etc." line you should see one or more lines labelled "Position #x" where x is a number and if you click on any of those you should see a place to select the "LNB Type:", and "C-Band" is one of the choices.

If you are using a TBS PCIe card you will also need to make sure the tuner drivers are installed, and that you are not sharing interrupts (IRQ's) between the card and other devices. This blog explains how to avoid IRQ sharing:

But I had previously given how I did it in my case previously:
My only self Find solution was to modify Configuration File manualy. In Ubuntu here is where reside the definition for LNB types.
Change Universal for C-Band in ~/hts/.hts/tvheadend/input/linuxdvb/adapters
That is a Hidden directory.
So enable showing hidden files [CTRL+H]
What I recalled is that there is a file in there.
Make your self a Backup of that file.
Then edit the File in it.
There is a line in there that reads
"lnb_type": "Universal"
but we want it to read instead
"lnb_type": "C-Band"
Search & Replace "Universal" for your "C-Band"
You may require to be su I think.
Good luck, but I bet you K Shea method is the correct way to do it.
