For some reason, a search of this TP is causing my VU+ to lock up and I have to reboot the receiver. Not sure if it's the strange S/R but I'm doing a blind search with the DrHD to see if that will resolve it. What's the significance of 'stream 33'? and has it a bearing on the problem?

It's a multistream transponder Pete, used for distributing DVB-T channels to Italian terrestrial transmitters. Just an efficient way of using one transponder for many channels. There's four streams, each carrying a selection of channels.

You need a receiver or PC card that can process all four - you just select the stream you need with the channels you want. I use a TBS 6925 PC card.

Ah, thanks for that. Explains why I couldn't pick anything up. Strange how it locks up the VU+ though.
