According to

http://www.bbc.co.uk/reception//info/sat_frequencies.shtml

DSAT 4


Astra 1N (28.2° East)
Transponder 50
Frequency: 10.84700 GHz
Vertical polarisation
Modulation: DVB-S2, QPSK
Symbol rate: 23.0 Mbaud
FEC 8/9
Transport Stream ID: 2050
After the 27th September 2012
Astra 1N (28.2° East)
Transponder 50
Frequency: 10.84700 GHz
Vertical polarisation
Modulation: DVB-S2, 8PSK
Symbol rate: 23.0 Mbaud
FEC 2/3
Transport Stream ID: 2050

which means

Modulation is changing QPSK -> 8PSK
FEC is changing 8/9 -> 2/3

from the xml file

<Transponder>
<CarrierFrequency>10847000</CarrierFrequency>
<Polarisation>LinearV</Polarisation>
<SymbolRate>23000</SymbolRate>
<Modulation>ModQpsk</Modulation>
<InnerFecRate>Rate8_9</InnerFecRate>
<Pilot>Off</Pilot>
<Rolloff>ThirtyFive</Rolloff>

I can see where to change both but what is the Modulation type?

Doing a manual scan finds them

New values should be as follows:

<CarrierFrequency>10847000</CarrierFrequency>
<Polarisation>LinearV</Polarisation>
<SymbolRate>23000</SymbolRate>
<Modulation>Mod8Psk</Modulation>
<InnerFecRate>Rate2_3</InnerFecRate>
<Pilot>Off</Pilot>
<Rolloff>ThirtyFive</Rolloff>

Is that what you were asking?

...then again...
You do know that you can click "update satellite list" to update the transponder lists automatically, right?

Is anyone else having a problem with BBC HD at the moment? I've rescanned (and checked the settings manually to confirm the change was picked up) but am not getting any reception. Always get the "no signal found" message. Is it just me - or does anyone know whether they are off the air at the moment?

Edit: Problem solved by deleting the existing channel and rescanning on just that transponder.
