[QUOTE="HappySwede, post: 611962, member: 54648"] I have just replaced the cables all the way from the dish to the recievers with brand new once, and there is no real difference in signal strength/quality on the transponders where it finds channels. My concern is that there are soo many transponders where there is no signal at all. As far as I get the dish has to be correctly alligned, though a bit of adjusting for optimal signal might be needed. The reason why I think it has to be correct is because it has fixed positions for the LNBs on a rail and after adjusting I find Hotbird on the LNB expected and scanning without Diseqc I find the channels expected on each LNB. My concern is the vast difference between the amount of channels found with my old "working" switch and the newer 4-1 switches. I have a feeling that it somehow either is "loosing contact" with the LNB or starts reading from a different ini file. Any thoughts? I am not sure if the files used to be .txt or not but I remember removing transponders from them so that it wouldnt scan transponders that wasnt even on the satelite just to save some time. But this was a few years ago and the files back then where combined for some satelites. I have updated the satelite list before scaning so that should be ok and I am keeping it simple, no S2 tuning.
