[QUOTE="Dog's dinner, post: 723947, member: 362627"] I thought of that myself, but connecting the Astra 2 cable to the Topfield actually only provides Astra 2 channels. Astra and Hotbird channels are still listed, but there's no signal. That would seem to indicate that the Astra 2 LNB is on the single LNB dish. I'm going to do 3 tests. I've attached both cables (Astra/Hotbird to tuner A; Astra 2 to tuner B). Starting with the same configuration as above, I'll enter the same satellite in all three active ports. For example Hotbird on ports 1, 2 and 3. If the number of channels exceeds what I get for that satellite on a normal run (with each port assigned to a different satellite), that should indicate something. It should therefore be possible by a process of elimination to find which port belongs to which satellite. I'm not expecting much from this experiment. But it's worth a try. [/QUOTE]
