I tuned ITV HD for the first time the other day. I did it first time following this post http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/dreambox800/142750-itv-hd-nabilo-bh-0-6-a.html#post812757

Just use dreambox edit and fill in the details that it shows in the thumbnail. I didnt rescan or anything

Edit:-although I am using sat position 28.4 and the frequency is 11427000 I dont know why but it works for me

Well, what you have to do with the lamedb file is FTP it to the box, don't use the dreamboxedit. Then after FTP don't reboot, you have to turn the boxx off at the back. If you use normal reboot or the reboot initated by the dreamboxedit it won't work.

If it works, then you will have another problem: If you scan 28east, it will usually overwrite the ITVHD station with some junk. So make sure you tick all the boxes of the ITVHD station in Dreamboxedit so it won't autoupdate.

Trust me, it works

One other thing when you do a scan it says Newtwork Scan- On Off

What is it and should it be on or off?

We discussed network scanning in another thread, search for it as there is a lot of information. But basically it searches all the frequencies of the network, it is like a poor mans blind scan. It takes longer to scan that way, but you get more chances of picking up new stuff.
So for normal scanning I leave it off
