Okay. I'm still waiting for the log files etc. as previously requested...

No, I mean don't use them at all.
They're overrides. That means they will be used for all channels. Even the Ku band channels previously scanned in.
If you've used them to scan in any channels, I'd advise you to delete those channels and rescan using the appropriate "band" setting.

I don't mean to labour the point unnecessarily, but from this comment I have the impression you still haven't understood what I'm trying to say. Please forgive the following additional clarification if you have already understood...

Let's say you're attempting to scan a single DVB-S transponder. You're copying the settings from your A3 as you said. I guess your A3 will describe such a transponder as "QPSK"... or maybe just "DVB-S", I'm not exactly sure. TV Server has a "QPSK" setting which looks like the obvious right choice. Point is: it's not. "QPSK" is the wrong choice for scanning DVB-S QPSK. As previously indicated, "not set" is the correct choice for DVB-S QPSK.

So to be clear: the point I'm trying to make is not to be careful that you don't use the same setting for all transponders. Rather, I'm trying to point out that:
It's important to use correct settings.
The correct settings aren't always the ones you think they'd be at first glance.
The reason I recommend full satellite scans is because that way you don't have to know/care about these idiosyncrasies.
