I tend to just do it for my favourite satellites, and only for channels I can actually watch, for example just the FTA channels or whatever.

On the Technomates, you go to Motorised Settings, then select the satellite you want to check, then scroll through the transponders and check them against lyngsat, any extras-delete them, and deficient-add them. (Using Advance settings)
