The first test I did on my toroidal, Wavefield, with 16 LNBs, for 16 satellites, now only 15, because the last one on the bar is no longer getting signal at 7.3W, being now on the MENA beam, impossible to pick up with a 1m antenna in my area.I checked the application with the tbs6903x card, because, as Deeptho says, it provided support for demod stid135, but more importantly, for satellite reception enthusiasts to have the right tool on Linux, like have those who work on Windows.I have to admit that I had a little difficulty getting to grips with the application to use it with the 6903x for I set the app to DiSEqC 1.1, as it is recommended for more than 4 LNB.There are so many things to test with Deeptho's app, Neomodvb, all the more so since it's new for those who work with DVB cards on Linux. The first test I did on my toroidal, Wavefield, with 16 LNBs, for 16 satellites, now only 15, because the last one on the bar is no longer getting signal at 7.3W, being now on the MENA beam, impossible to pick up with a 1m antenna in my area.I checked the application with the tbs6903x card. As Deeptho says, it provided support for chip stid135, but more importantly, satellite reception enthusiasts have the right tool on Linux, like those who work on Windows.I have to admit that I had a little difficulty getting to grips with the application to use it with the 6903x, for I set the app to DiSEqC 1.1, as it is recommended for more than 4 LNB.This setup didn't pose any problems. Everything is evident in the instructions as ABC. I started with port 0, at 42.0E, the first lnb on the antenna(Crazyscan under Windows begins with 1 for DiSEqC 1.1), and the last is port 14, which is at 4.0W, lnb on Amos 4/7,(you can see this on the pictures below).The difficulty I mentioned before was due to the 6903x's slow response to my commands and the way I approached this operation. Being only a test, I chose to scan only one transponder on each of the satellites on the toroidal. I succeeded on the first attempt to check the first two satellites, Turksat and HellasSat, without any problem, but when I had to scan with the circular lnb at 36.0E, the application didn't respond as on the first two satellites.Of course, I set in the application the circular polarity, Right/Left, but the Neumodvb still delayed to I thought of restarting the application, taking care to enter the lnb settings for 6903x, the 11th in the table with cards in the application. Even with the circular polarity set for Express-AMU1, I didn't get a signal.Finally, I set the lnb to Linear, and with a bit of patience, the card finally responded and scanned this satellite. I continued with the 4th lnb, at 33.1E, but again the signal finding and locking were long-awaited.I had the same problems finding and locking the signal at other positions. To cut a long story short. I managed to scan all 15 satellites on my toroidal.At some positions, the application was failing, and I was getting it from starting from the beginning, i.e., choosing the lnb assigned to the 11 cards I was working with. It was only later that I realized that I got more efficiency in scanning if I didn't exit the application after scanning a But this approach is not always guaranteed, even more so when the signal is unavailable, even on the same satellite. Plus, as those who work with this card know, the 6903x has a higher latency when responding to a weaker signal (but it sometimes happens on a strong one).Even though it took me a long time (the first test of this kind) to scan 15 satellites, I'm finally impressed that I could work with Numodvb on several satellites.For the errors that occurred during the tests, either my fault or the application's, I will attach the log from /tmp/. Deeptho will see what kind of errors and what causes them.I thought of posting the pictures of the toroidal satellites I scanned. But I limit myself now to attach only the first one, at 42.0E, and the last one, at 4.0W. If Deeptho wants to see all the satellites scanned with DiSEqC 1.1, I will make it available if he asks.I gathered from Deeptho's comment that the algorithm used for the 6903x card is different than CrazyCat's.I don't know if this affects how the visual signal appears on the spectrum because there is a slight difference in the range, say, at 13.0E, between what Neumodvb and Crazyscan show us. With the former, the signal appears weaker and does not find any useful signal, while with the latter on Windows, it stands out and can be scanned and locked. In general, the signal on the horizontal polarity appears weaker on the spectrum than the vertical one. From this point of view Crazyscan, under Windows, is more efficient.But I will come back to this on another occasion. Sorry for loading the topic with long text and many pictures until then.Once again my thanks for what you do for the satellite enthusiast community <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/emojione/thumbsup.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":Y" title="Thumbs Up    :Y" data-shortname=":Y" />ps_(I don't know if it matters a lot, but I add that I used Diseqc 1x17 EMP Centauri in these tests. Most of the lnbs on my toroid are from 2007/2008, most are Strong. I installed it in 2008)</blockquote>
