[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1197861, member: 82144"] Thanks for the update. First, I would like to clarify a few things... I do not and have never owned or even used a DD MAX 8 myself. All the information I have about the MAX 8 comes from this thread. My claim that the transponder file I provided should work is based on the assumption that the information provided by "Cumpy Rules" - who seems to be an employee, close associate, or representative of DD - is correct. As far as I can see (I did check, but I'm human so I sometimes make mistakes ;) ), the modifications I made are the same as those made by BPOH_Voodoo... and he reported that they worked for him. So in short: I'm unsure why you still have a problem. It seems reasonable to assume that there must be one or more differences between your setup and BPOH_Voodoo's setup which explain the difference in results. Possible differences that I can think of include: [LIST=1] [*]Use of Unicable. BPOH_Voodoo stated he was not using Unicable -->[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/dd-max-s8-tuning-problems.129173/#post-1118953']here[/URL]<--. [*]TVE "preferred network provider" setting. BPOH_Voodoo's [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/dd-max-s8-tuning-problems.129173/#post-1118958']non-working log file[/URL] shows him using the generic network provider like you. That's the recommended option... but it's possible that he changed to the older DVBS network provider based on [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/dd-max-s8-tuning-problems.129173/page-2#post-1118979']my recommendation[/URL]. Unfortunately he didn't provide log files showing the tuner working correctly. [*]The DD Control Center modulation setting. Unfortunately BPOH_Voodoo doesn't seem to have mentioned what value he was using for that setting. Personally I don't even know what values are available. Can you list the values? Screenshots of all the available settings in DD Control Center would be really nice. [*]Difference in driver version. Again, BPOH_Voodoo didn't mention which driver version he was using. However I would have hoped that a driver that can work with DD-TV and DVBViewer could also work with TVE. [/LIST] A final possibility to consider: maybe either or both DD-TV and DVBViewer are preventing TVE from controlling the tuners properly. Remember that DD-TV, DVBViewer and any other tuner software that you use must be completely closed and stopped, [B]and then TVE must also be restarted[/B], in order for TVE to be sure to get control of the tuners. If none of the information and suggestions that I've provided here are helpful, I can only recommend that you contact DD support and ask for assistance. P.S. Earlier you mentioned the LNB source difference between the DD-TV and TVE log files. I don't know this for sure, but I'm reasonably confident that the LNB source relates to DiSEqC settings.
