[QUOTE="Burnham Beech, post: 13179, member: 175046"] I've read & re-read the relevant parts of the DVB2000 manual in the past few days trying to understand this. I have a NDT1006A receiver but can't make any sense on the section you quoted below. Even on a standard all FTA transponder (say on 19º east) it does not seem to be of any use. (By the way my manual also says press 7 on & off - but I think they mean AutoPID which is 9 or A depending on DVB version) Let's say there are 8 channels on a transponder and you start the automatic PID search following the instructions printed in the manual. What it will do is find only the video & audio pids for the channel currently set - it does not find the v/a pids for the other 7 channels. By experimentation I have found that it only searches the particular SID already set. If I change the SID to zero nothing is found. If I change the SID to a valid number, it will find the v/a pids relevant to the SID - that doesn't seem to be of much use since if I'm searching for something, I don't know the SID. If anyone has DVB2000 and can make more sense of this than me I would appreciate any help they can provide. You say the trick of hiding PIDs has been used before, but this is the first time I've encountered it. Whenever I've been told of a new channel, I put in the Freq, Pol, SR & FEC in the Tuner menu, do a search and I've always found the channel. I found another reference to automatic PID search in the DVB2000 manual in Expert Menu/Layer Demux. At first glance it appears to be the solution. Set the search going and it goes through all the vPIDs one by one taking about 30 minutes to cycle through all the possible values. But this just doesn't work on my receiver, it simply goes past valid PIDs without stopping. Maybe there is something else to set to activate this PID seacrh properly. [/QUOTE]
