[QUOTE="eeknz, post: 760367, member: 88766"] Thanks for the speedy reply. To make it less confusing.... D1 [B]is[/B] on the nova - D2 [I]was [/I]on the HVR. I got a new dish, unplugged D2, and put that into IS5. Only 2 are active. I can't confirm the IS5 dish is even pointing to the right place as yet. I haven't been able to get anything out of that except the sat finder telling me something is there. I'll get that sorted by someone with a compass that works.... Assorted androids seem to make 331 deg be in a very wide range of places. So we have D1 still connected to the Nova all working fine, as long as the 10750 is set as an over ride. The HVR has no DVB-S right now (till the dish pointing is sorted), just DVB-T. There are 2 DVB-S cards shown in the list, and predifned D1 channels already there. If I remove D1 from the settings of the card it's in, and turn it on on the card that has no LNB connected to it, I can still make Stratos or SBS preview just fine. This means either the channel definitions don't care what the tuner settings are once they have been set, or when I preview SBS on D1, the system knows it wants a Hauppauge card, so it goes and looks, finds 2, and magically finds the channel from a card with the correct name, even though the one with the settings has no cable connected, and the with the cable connected has no settings defined. - This was not was I expected. I thought removing a sat definition from the card would cause all the channels looking at it to stop working. Perhaps that would happen after a service restart? Also, any setting you enter on the custom area of one card, will appear, and overwrite, settings in any other card. As you've explained, this is by desgin.. No offence intended with the Diseqc comment. Perhaps a better phrase would have been Diseqc doesn't seem to work on Hauppauge cards regardless of software.... Based on what you say regarding the custom parameters, I expect that when the dish is confirmed correct, the problem will be this: The standard C-Band settings should work fine, but the Ku settings don't seem to be working without the 10750 setting. If I have the setting turned on, then it will be applied globally, so the 10750 will also apply to the C-Band, and therefore make it not work. If that is correct, it would be impossible to get that configuration to work. I can't check just now as it's in use by Mrs, however I may be on Ku Universal, not Circular. Perhaps the 10750 will not be needed if I change that to Circular... It's been a while since I've messed with them, and using the 10750 was what I had to do to get it working again after I broke everything. I'm sure there are people here running the D1/IS5 combo. Perhaps I need to change to 11300 LNB for D1 to get what I want working.. I will reconnect D2 when I get a 3rd DVB-S card, as I'm really not even going to try switching again. Has that helped make it more clear? Andrew [/QUOTE]
