They're just for scanning convenience. They enable you to scan four satellites in one scan run.You can set up your first four satellites then scan, then set up the fifth satellite in any of the four rows (unticking the other three rows) and scan again. Changing those settings does not affect channels that have previously been scanned in.Correct.Level is the DiSEqC version (ie. level 1 = DiSEqC 1.0, 4 port switching).The next two letters are the DiSEqC 1.0 option and position (...or position and option - I can never remember which way around it is).Band is poorly named. A better name would be LNB type. You can see the corresponding settings for each LNB type if you tick to enable advanced scanning and ensure LNB overrides are disabled. Changing the band setting in the first satellite row should show the settings in the LNB override fields.Satellite is the satellite you want to scan. We use that setting to pick the transponder list file for the scan.As above: you're not constrained to four satellites in total. The four rows limit the number of satellites you can scan in one scan run. After each run you can change those fields freely without affecting previously scanned channels.So to be clear: it is not a problem to receive 5 satellites in total with 2 satellites from port 3.You don't have to use the advanced options. In fact I'd normally recommend to avoid them if possible.Okay, so here's the thing: if you enable those LNB override settings they're going to apply for all tuners and all channels. Ideally you should avoid using them if at all possible. You avoid them by using the correct band settings.In order to help you as quickly and simply as possible, please can you supply a list of all the satellites you're attempting to receive with the corresponding LO, DiSEqC and 22 kHz tone settings. For example:91W, DiSEqC port 1, 10750 MHz, 22 k offetc.Not exactly. The LNB override settings are distinct/separate from the transponder fields below. So, you could (for example) enable advanced options, enable LNB override settings, and do a "predefined provider" (ie. whole satellite) scan.Understood. As above.For now I'm not going to give a direct answer because the explanation could be complex and time consuming for me to write (and for you to read and understand!). If you could simply list the satellites and details as requested above it will save both of us a lot of time. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />In short, the tone switch ties into the "band" (LNB type) setting, not the DiSEqC setting... but don't think about this too much. I will tell you what settings to use as soon as you supply the satellite list."Predefined provider" is misleading. It actually refers to the satellite(s) selected above, not Dish or DirecTV or whatever. You select that option to scan one or more satellites with advanced options (ie. LNB overrides) enabled as explained above.Yes, that's correct - we don't support DiSEqC 1.1 (16 port) switches or cascaded switches (one switch connected to another).Your current setup with one 4 port switch and one 22k switch should be fine though once we work through the details. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />As above: the place to start is with a full list of your satellites and the LOF, DiSEqC and 22 k settings for each of them. If you can provide that I can tell you exactly what to set.In case it helps with other questions: we have a wiki.<a href="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com" target="_blank">http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com</a>Info about satellite scanning is here:<a href="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers/3_Scan_DVB-S" target="_blank">http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers/3_Scan_DVB-S</a><a href="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers/9_Advanced_Tuning_Options/1_DVB-S_Tuning_Details" target="_blank">http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers/9_Advanced_Tuning_Options/1_DVB-S_Tuning_Details</a>Regards,mm</blockquote>
