Hi,
I'm a long time user of MediaPortal but have just moved to a new apartment with satellite and I've had some issue setting it up that I was hoping someone could help me with.
I'm living in Luxembourg and the apartment has just had 3 Satellites installed, they have been configured for Astra 1, Hotbird and Astra 2. These have been setup with a multi-switch (http://shop.hauser.lu/multiswitch-commutateurs/113-switch-2-sat-ter-vers-16-sorties.html) and I get them all through a single cable.
I have a 10 year old set-top box that I have borrowed which I've been able to scan all the channels. So I bought a dual DVB-S2 tuner card (DD Cine S2 V6.5 - Twin Tuner Card DVB-S/S2) for my HTPC running MediaPortal.
The problem I'm having is that I can receive all the UK channels but not the German ones.
My knowledge of configuring satellites is non-existent. Below is the satellite configuration from the set-top box:
Universal (9750-10600)
Astra 1 - DiSEqC Port 1, transponder: 1/188 12603 H 22000
Hotbird - DiSEqC Port 2, transponder: 1/117 10719 V 27500
Astra 2 - DiSEqC Port 3, transponder: 59/100 11126 V 2200
And here is the settings I tried to input into the MediaPortal satellite setup tool:
Even when I just scan the Astra 1 satellite I still only get UK channels. I tried changing some of the advance tuning options and managed to get some German channels but not all.
Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong please?
Any help gratefully received
