[QUOTE="clarkebelt, post: 1090908, member: 148422"] I just wanted to leave a quick note to add one thing: Apparently the tone switches were NOT the issue, or at least not the entire issue. I ran new wire yesterday and now have individual wires from each LNB to the DiSEqC switches, and all the C-band LNB's are working fine but it seems that nothing on Ku will come in. I know the LNB and wire are good because I can connect them to a standalone receiver and those channels come in just fine. I took a quick look at the TV Server log for one failed attempt and it seems as if the tuner may be trying to tune something on C-band, not Ku. I will do more testing later but just wanted to post this now. Oh and I did disable the tone switch selection in the advanced settings although from what I understand that shouldn't make any difference; if it tries to enable a tone switch and there's none there it should still work, and it didn't. The DiSEqC settings are correct for the channels we are trying to tune, I know that much. By the way MediaPortal only displays "Unknown Error" when the attempt to tune a Ku channel fails. [/QUOTE]
