I was running a Twinhan 102G that would never show signal in MP. Worked perfectly fine in Mytheatre but just plain wouldn't work under MP. Bought a SS2 2.6C dropped it in and works fine in MT but I'm having trouble with MP. I'm using 11250,0,11250 for LOF1,SW,LOF2. Set LNB1 to L1 A/A and LN2 to L1 B/A with LNB1 pointed to 91W and LNB2 pointed to 82W. Each time I scan I get a different number of channels. It's sometimes as little as 34 channels and my highest has been 200+ only. I can't seem to figure out why MP won't pickup all the channels. From the logs, it looks like it finds the PIDs on the transponder, but DVBGraph doesn't correlate channels to certain transponders.

Hmmm, and your MT worked fine with a cable not properly plugged? Mytheatre and DVDDream scan perfectly fine. I checked my cable and it's tight.

MT?

maybe you can just import a complete channellist.

MT=MyTheatre, sorry. I've tried to download the MT to MP channel export/import program but the author has taken it down. =(

Yes, but not with regular MediaPortal. I caved and installed TVServer. Everything I did with regular MP wouldn't scan properly no matter what DVB card.
