Does anyone know of documentation out there for modifyng the BullsEye
LNBF (Ku-band, for QO-100) for external REF?

My experience with modifying other consumer LNBFs for external reference
has been a "mixed bag", due to the fragile nature of the
  traces that are typical on these boards.

Assuming it has ADRO as the oscillator a probe near the DRO with a subharmonic frequently will allow you to injection lock.No other circuit mods needed

It's a PLL design, with a 25MHz TCXO on-board.

You could use this schematic here. It's kinda reprogramming the internal pll via ref frequency output. Works pretty well since i use it for other operations .
