[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 748848, member: 82144"] :D Weather can definitely affect signal levels. Keep an eye on the signal levels every now and again and see what happens. You can do that through the context menu in MediaPortal (right-click->tuning details). Off the top of my head, the two that I saw you try towards the end of the logs were the TV Vlaanderen one and an ARD one. Both were horizontal (which is the polarity that isn't/wasn't working well) and above 11954H (which was consistently the highest horizontal transponder that worked)... I'd definitely recommend that. When I align my dish I do it by taking a receiver and a small TV up on the roof and watching the receiver levels. It saves relying on signal meters that are cheap but not particularly good, buying a really expensive signal meter, or getting an installer in. ;) I'm not really sure I understand what you're trying to say here. Do you mean that the higher the frequency, the more critical the alignment is ?[/QUOTE] That is exactly what I mean. DVB-S2 signals require better alignment too. You're very welcome! :) Tough question - I don't have a good answer. I have recently been working on adding support for MTD for Twinhan/Terratec/Azurewave and KNC One cards (-->[URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/submit-code-patches-mediaportal-tv-server-etc-325/multichannel-decryption-improvements-95992/"]link[/URL]<--). Some CAMs support it - some don't. Some can do more channels at once than others. The best CAM for you would be one that can do four channels at once. All I can really suggest is check CAM specifications, ask for advice from other Octopus owners in the [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-development-no-feature-request-here-48/digitaldevices-dual-dvb-s2-testing-cam-diseqc-82416/"]Digital Devices thread[/URL] and perhaps ask for suggestions from Digital Devices support...
