My diseqc switches have inputs marked A, B, C and D. I connected the 19.2°E LNB to input A, 23.°E to input B and 28.2°E to input C. Applying logic, I would have expected input A to be 'Level1AA' in the MP diseqc configuration and input D to be 'Level1BB'. However, as it turned out, input A is 'Level1AB', input B 'Level1BB' and input C 'Level1AA'. By process of elimination, input D would be 'Level1BA', but I'm not using that one. However, in my screenshot you'll see I've set input 1 to 'Level1BA', and there is a reason for this. I performed a fresh install of MP 1.1.0 RC2 and decided to retune my channels rather than restore the channel configuration from backup. When I came to scan 19.2°E I noticed that I got 'no signal' on the transponders. The other two (23.5°E and 28.2°E) worked fine. I decided to change 'Level1AB' to 'Level1BA' and the scan completed successfully. Interestingly, the diseqc configuration is properly recorded in the channel configuration. For example, I scanned the 'ZDF HD' transponder with the 'Level1BA' setting, and then when the channel was found it was stored with the correct diseqc setting 'Level1AB'. I concluded this is a bug and created a bug report, but it got deleted because I didn't include any logs. At least you now know to be aware of this.Not sure how knowledgeable you are or what you've tried to date, but what I would do in your case is remove the diseqc switch, install <a href="http://www.fastsatfinder.com/" target="_blank">FastSatfinder</a>, configure it for your device, and tune in to a known transponder. If you get a signal you know the setup works without a diseqc switch. Then add the diseqc switch back in and configure the diseqc option in FastSatfinder until you have a signal. If it doesn't work on any of the positions it will never work in MP. If it does, then you've found the correct diseqc position for that input on your diseqc switch, and it should be possible to derive/test the positions for the other inputs. Remember to remove power from your PC when you make changes to your sat cabling, or you could damage your card. You also need to stop the tvservice before using FastSatfinder.</blockquote>
