[QUOTE="Dog's dinner, post: 723920, member: 362627"] Made some progress today. I thought I would check the DiSEqC positions again on the Topfield setup. I attached the cable from the dual LNB dish (Astra 19 and Hotbird 13), and was amazed to find Astra 2 channels working as well. I hadn't obviously expected to see any sign of life from the Astra 2 satellite. So, the three LNBs are clearly joined up somehow in a switch affair. With this new information in hand I attached the now triple LNB cable and started a new "services search" on the Dreambox. Parameters were: Tuner A Config mode: simple Mode: DiSEqC A/B/C/D Port A: Astra 2 Port B: Astra Port C: Hotbird Port D: not configured Voltage/22 kHz: off I did two scans, first with the "send DiSEqC only on change of satellite" off, then with it on. (The searches, by the way, went much fast than yesterday evening.) I netted around 1050 channels. Crucially, however, without the German TV and radio channels, and without Italian RAI radio 3. I did a manual search for some of the classical music radio channels which I'm used to receiving on the Topfield, but with absolutely no success. I must say, I find this completely incomprehensible. I think I'll try shuffling the port distribution. Just to see whether the secret lies there. [/QUOTE]
