    In MP there is no NIT option (network id), to scan using your providers details.
    This causes (at least for dvbc users in the Netherlands). that the wrong transponderlist is send when you scan using the normal setup info you get from your provider.(usually includes a network id).
    Because the provider doesnt comply with the dvbc standards , you get a transponder list from the wrong network id
    in effect, you get 0 channels or a small part only.
    This does work on standalone receivers,because those "things" do have a networkid option you must use to scan for the transponderlist.
    Now we have to rely on tuninglists to get our channels

    Can you please reply to this post answering the following questions:
    1) Which country are you located
    2) provider
    3) answer the poll question on top

    This way we can get an answer if this is the case for more users ?

    Thank you for your information

    I've voted with yes. My cable provider maintains a NIT which holds correct transponder lists.
    It was not always the case, long time ago they had even DVB-S transponder info inside the tables, which is of course wrong for DVB-C users.

    Russia, transponder list search is working for me now.
    But I think so big Mediaportal community as Dutch should have ability to scan channels
