11330H - new image, PLS entered using remote control, no signal in DefineOS. 13dB signal using Open ATV.
11422H - I don't know why not suitable for E2, I will forget for now.
11492V - new image, PLS entered using remote control, no signal in DefineOS. 11.5dB signal using Open ATV.

Adding new transponders 11330H and 11492V with the remote control with just the PLS code isn't working, the receiver doesn't recognise the signal, I think because not all of the required parameters are recorded satellites.xml, lamedb etc. I tried using editors to change satellites.xml with no luck because the contents are reset by the receiver.

Does it work for you?

11492V - I don't have enough signal for LOCK

Many thanks, I now have some progress.
I'm using the previous version of Define 1.06.47 but maybe it doesn't matter.

11330H - I can now scan this in! ^_^ I was using ID 174526 but now I have changed the entry to 242965. All the main websites that list transponders say Gold 174526, what type of code is 242965, is this unique to Define?

11422H - Understood.
11492V - I think I need to change the code but I don't know how to get the new code?

Does anyone here gave an SF8008 Supreme from WoS, pre-set up as Freesat PVR?

My First generation HDR is rather old now (yet showing no sign of impending failure) - Nevertheless, I am thinking about what to do when inevitably it does die, and I am aware that the Arris boxes are not exactly up to snuff, so an 8008, suitably fettled, looks like a candidate
