Hmm, that seems OK, where it says at the bottom "Obtained from NIT information", that would indicate that the card has read the satellite. I'm wondering if it's a Media Portal problem.

I'm trying to scan with ProgDVB atm. Can't get a single thing. Trying all sorts of options. The previous 'Lost Channel' list doesn't even appear any more :(...

Got my hands on a Goodmans Freesat Box and it scanned all channels in a matter of seconds! All channels show 100% signal and 100% quality...

This narrows it down to the settings and card.

Anyone have any ideas on the settings I require?

Great news that the feed is ok. I'm glad my earlier fence-sitting wasn't justified!

I've never used a PC Card for DSAT but presume that like a box you need to make LNB settings somewhere.

Unless I'm mistaken, even though your feed is from a Multiswitch, as a user you just treat it as a Universal 9750/10600 LNB.

Check what settings you actually have in that respect.

Fantastic news. After uninstalling the card's drivers, removing the card, reinserting it into the same PCI slot, reinstalling the drivers, WinTV & ProgDVB found all the channels. But MediaPortal was still showing 'no signal'. A re-installation of that has also fixed everything :). The settings were the default ones. i.e. 'No Diseqc' and Universal LNB.

Thankyou very much too all of you who offered me advice throughout :).
