[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1173759, member: 82144"] Yes, you can do that if you want... or create completely new files. Whatever works easiest for you. The examples you requested are attached. Note that if you create a new satellite file, you need to edit "satellites.xml" (same folder) to get it to appear in TV Server Configuration. Again, it's just an XML/text file and the format should be obvious. By way of example, I added the following lines [below the original 101W entry] for the 2 example files that I attached: In the URL field I reused the 101W URL. That way if/when you use the "update satellite list" function, the file will be filled with the 101W transponder list, and you only have to [again] remove the transponders that shouldn't be in the file. Saves you having to recreate the files from scratch. I don't know if TsReader gives the info (never used it). However, all the information you need is available in the TV Server log file. For an example, refer to the section that I quoted in my previous reply. This thing: [2016-01-29 21:44:46,422] [Log ] [36 ] [INFO ] - Found: DVBS:tv:Weigel NOC Heroes Freq:3953000 ONID:1 TSID:1 SID:1 PMT:0x101 FTA:True LCN:10000 SymbolRate:2734 Modulation:ModNotSet Polarisation:LinearV InnerFecRate:Rate5_6 DisEqc:Level1BA band:CBand Pilot:NotSet RollOff:NotSet Let's use the "Heroes"/"Decades" mix up as an example. I'm going to assume you have "Heroes" in your channel list. The instructions below describe how to fix it: [LIST=1] [*]Open TV Server Configuration. [*]Assuming the channel you want to fix is a TV channel, go to the "TV Channels" section. Otherwise go to the "Radio Channels" section. [*]Find the channel you need to fix.

You should now have a dialog similar to [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/@api/deki/files/2584/=Tuning_detail_3_DVB-S.png']this[/URL]. [*]Check/correct the details as follows: [LIST] [*]DiSEqC = the DiSEqC setting for the satellite that the channel is broadcast from (specific to your setup).
