Problem with DVB-S scan with correct frequency list (1 Viewer)

Windows Version: Windows XP SP2
[1. TV Card: Hauppage 150MCE

Im (desperatly) tring to set up my parents HTPC

Im trying to do a channel scan in MediaPortal on the DVB-S card.

My parents have Canal Digital Family, and use the Thor 2/3 satellite.

Using the predefined Thor 2/3 satellites i do find some channels, but its 10 out of hundreds that should be found.

I do know the correct frequences, V/H and symbol rates, and if i scan them in MyTheatre i find all the channels.

The CAM works fine i can watch scrambled channels(the one i have scanned anyway) in both MP and MyTheatre.

Im a bit unsure about their LNB setup. they do have dual LNBs but they only use the one(the other points to Astra but is not used). When scanning in MP i see plenty of signal strength so i think the correct LNB is being used.

I tried creating my own *.tpl file with the following contents:

satname=My Satellite
11403,V,24500
11293,H,24500
11309.V.24500
11309,H,24500
11229,H,24500
11325,H,24500
11325,H,28000
11357,H,24500

I have checked on Canal Digitals home page and in MyTheatre that there should be at least a few channels on each of these transponders. but MP only finds a few channels.

Im a bit confused about many of the settings in the DVB-S autotune(Tone and Ku-band/C-band for example) and help would be much appreciated. In MyTheatre the Ku-Band frequences seems to be set to the same values as KuBand in MP. MyTheatre doesnt have any Tone setting so i have no idea about that.

Hmm.. Help, please

Turns out that hardware PID filtering must be disabled before scanning. Kind of strange, could be considered a bug.

Anyway, for me the problem is 'solved', but enabling hw PID filtering shouldnt block autotuning!
