[QUOTE="clarkebelt, post: 1085615, member: 148422"] Please help! Brand new MediaPortal user here (just installed it today) and I am trying to make it work with my 5 satellite dishes. I'm trying to understand how to set this up: I have a Prof 7301 DVB-S2 card installed, and it is connected to a 4 port DiSEqC switch. I can understand how to configure it if each port were connected to a single LNB but here is my problem. Port 3 of the DiSEqC switch is connected to TWO different LNB's through a 22 kHz tone switch. In the "tone off" state it is connected to a Ku-band LNB and dish. The Ku LNB has a LO frequency of 10750. In the "tone on" state is is connected to a C-Band dish, and the C-band LNB has a LO frequency of 5150. What I do not get is this: When you go into the Satellite-PC configuration and select the card, you get a screen showing four satellite positions (each of which, I assume, corresponds with a port on the DiSEqC switch in this situation. So position #3, DiSEqC would be set to Level1BA in the dropdown. But how do you set the Band and Satellite dropdowns? There are going to be two bands on the #3 position (C and Ku), and two different satellites, each of which will have a different transponder list. The satellites I am trying to receive are both in the list, but you can only select one per DiSEqC position. And then, from other threads I have read I get the idea that I have to do something in the advanced tuning options, but other than set the LOF1 to 10750 and the LOF2 to 5150 (and I'm not 100% sure that is correct), I am not sure what else to set in that screen. And, advanced tuning options looks like it is intended primarily for scanning only a single transponder, and I don't want to do that - I want to do a full scan on both satellites. AND I don't see how to select that this applies to DiSEqC port #3 only. So I just don't see how you are supposed to configure a tone switch after a DiSEqC switch. By the way, I am in North America so there is no "predefined provider" I can use. I'm also getting the distinct impression that MediaPortal doesn't support DiSEqC switches with more than 4 ports - if I am wrong please let me know - but if that is the case then that would not be an alternative solution. So please tell me, exactly how do I set this up? [/QUOTE]
