As I said in my previous post, I would check/scan each LNB individually so I know those bits are OK (you can use FastSatfinder for aligning your dish/LNBs for maximum signal quality and signal strength). All connectors and switches will introduce signal loss, and of course cable quality is important too, especially for longer runs, so make sure that's all as good as can be.It could well be that the same or similar frequencies are used on the various satellites. A handy application for scanning transponders and finding out what's 'inside' the stream is <a href="http://www.dvbviewer.com/griga/TransEdit%20E/MainWindow.html" target="_blank">TransEdit</a>, which conveniently also supports diseqc switching. You can use it to find out which satellite is received on each LNB/switch position.In terms of the satellite 'ini' files, MP does use those and yes, before scanning I would update them (see screenshot). It looks like the 'ini' files are actually downloaded from the FastSatfinder site. You can always set/remove the diseqc setting on the channel config (see screenshots). So, if you scan the LNBs separately without the diseqc switch, you could then manually configure the diseqc setting later. Not great obviously if you have a large channel list, and it shouldn't be required because you shouldn't loose too much signal with the diseqc switch. The weather will have a bigger impact on signal strength! Also, you might want to try scanning without DVB-S2 features first (set on card config), and then do another scan with DVB-S2 features enabled. In the past this was required to get a full channel list, not sure if that is still the case with the latest MP 1.1.0 RC2.</blockquote>
