The standard scan via my FireDTV card didn't pick up BBC 3 and BBC 4. So I tried to add them manually but this does not seem to work for me. I get an UnableToStartGraph error when I try to preview from the TVserver setup. The info I manually entered is in BBC 3.jpg and I've included a similar station (BBC 1 NI) which was auto discovered and which works for comparision. The only two differences are ServiceID (I got the BBC 3 one from Lynsat) and the channel ID - I made this one up!.

suggestions?

Regards

Hi Ian

BBC3 and BBC4 only tend to get picked up in a standard scan if you scan (or rescan) when they are broadcasting after 7:00pm. Before then the channels are being used by CBBC and CBeebies so these are the ones that will be picked up.

When I used DVB-S, I scanned once during the day (as the kids wanted CBeebies) and then rescanned in the evening to pick up BBC3 and BBC4 and any other stations that only broadcast then.
