If he were not a wizard, from head down to the root, you would have got to worry-your DB only boots

Expains a bit why but not that much help:

"How does it work?

Your satellite setup in the enigma config is created from the basic satellites.xml which comes with the image you use (var/etc or usr/etc). So if you have a new settingslist (from a downloadsite for example) it is possible that your satellite isn't recognized due to the differences in both satellites.xml files.

For example:

The Thor satellite is listed sometimes on 1 West and sometimes on 0.8 West! This means that you can have trouble switching/rotating to the Thor satellite when the settings xml doesnt match with the standard image xml that created your enigma config. Just replacing your satellites.xml by this new one isn't enough because:
- in the "settings" file, the 'namespace' line uses the position
(00c00000:041e:0001s 10787480:22000293:1:4:192:0:0 , 00c0 is 192, or Astra on 19.2 East)
- the positions are used in the bouquets

So the best is:
- replace your old satellites.xml by this new one in /var/etc or /usr/etc
- remove your satellite setup
- setup your satellite setup again
- start scanning again

Now the satellite positions in your enigma config matches with the new satellites.xml.

It would be great if the settings builders would like to use this compact global satellites.xml as is can save a lot of memory in there boxes of the users that use the settings!"

satellites.xml is in /etc/tuxbox/ on my box and has 1W but not 0.8W
