OK, here is my dilema:
I have a wavefrontier setup and am progressing setting up new satellites

so far, got 19E, 13E and 28E setup
next step 9E, but one thing is bugging me,
under nabilo how can i scan only 9E transponders when i've aligned the lnb ?
i can't seem to manage to do it
its either automatic scan, in which case it scans all satellites setup (so takes ages....)
or its manual where i have to enter frequencies one by one (you guessed it, that would take even longer :p)

is it possible without removing the other satellite settings ?
 
I can only assume you're using a Dreambox DM800? Please update your profile to detail the equipment you have.

This is for E2 images. Not sure if this effects all menus , but check it anyway. Goto , setup, system, customize. And select Advanced at the top. This enables all sorts of extra options in all other menus.

Now,
In manual scan, change the setting to Single Sat, instead of single transponder.

I like the idea of the wave frontier, but could you tell me please, what are you using to switch between LNB's ? I can't seem to find diseqc switches more than 4 way...
 
hi mate, indeed dm800, will update profile

thanks for the tip, can't belive i missed it, will try tonight when i get home

wavefrontier is GREAT! life changer v/s the motor which was irritating because if i put all movie channels in a bouquet, switching a channel from one satellite to antoher would start moving the dish, and then back and front as i zapped... and between 9E and 28E... my motor would take a good 20seconds or so
I'm currently using a 2.0 diseqc switch which is 4 way, but am going to buy the spaun (which apparently is great with the dm) 8 way switch (example: _http://www.extremefta.com/diseqc-switch-satellites-p-138.html )
i just need to find it cheap with eu delivery...

i think over 4 lnbs we have to go to diseqc 1.1 or 2.1, so it woun't be 1.0/2.0 setup

thx once more :)

DiSEqC switches can be "cascaded" ........... apparently!
