[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 760388, member: 82144"] Hi again Andrew Absolutely - thank you! :) Right, understood. Ahhh, I think I understand what you're doing here - you're unticking the Optus D1 satellite "row" for the Nova S Plus and expecting those channels to no longer work. TV Server doesn't work like that. With the exception of the LNB override settings, the settings on the scanning pages have absolutely no effect *except while you're scanning*. Once the channels are found by a scan, the parameters are saved to your database so that TV Server will always know how to tune them (unless you delete the channels from the channel list in the "TV Channels" section). The other key thing is mappings. Mappings tell TV Server which cards can be used to tune each channel (you probably want to read -->[URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/03_TV_Channels/2_Mapping"]this[/URL]<--). In your situation, if you deleted the Nova mappings for the Optus D1 channels then the channels would no longer work - TV Server would still no how to tune them, but it would think that there were no cards that were able to tune them. Does that make sense? No offence taken. In fact I completely concur with you - there have been a number of people that I've encountered that have trouble with DiSEqC and Hauppauge cards. My own personal experience has been nothing but failure too. By asking if DiSEqC worked in other software for you I was merely trying to ascertain whether TV Server does have a problem with Hauppauge DiSEqC support, or whether Hauppauge DiSEqC support is just flaky in general... Exactly - when you use the overrides, they are applied globally. Therefore all your LNBs would have to have the same LOF.
