Transponders or Issues on Nilesat 7.0W?

Guys, I've got a situation here.
I'm on Nilesat 7W and i'm having weird issues on the showtime and JSC packages. I got strong signal (between 79% and 92% on my Dreambox 500s) but I'm having some issues in getting some transponders right. Note that i'm also using a diseqc to connect my secondary dish (Badr 6). Now, on Nilesat all showtime transponders are working fine except for the ones holding Discovery Science, Animal Planet Sky News, and JSC +5, +6, +7, +8, +9, and +10. Signal is strong for each of those but image is broken with no audio as well. On Badr 6 the whole JSC package is working brilliantly with no quality loss at all. When I run a manual scan on those specific transponders it comes back empty with no services. My understanding is when u don't get a signal in a specific transponder you won't be able to get the channels inside, right? which explains why the scan is returning null results. but in my case I already have sky news, disco science, animal planet, etc. but they're not working at all :(
Question: where could this problem come from? is there a problem on Nilesat at the moment? is it due to my LNB? is it the diseqc which is messing with me? how come that in a specific transponder some channels are picked up and other are not? This situation is honestly driving me nuts)(-red
Thanks in aadvance for your support :)
 
You can check if it is the switch or not very easily by connecting your cable straight to the dish, bypassing the switch.

Yes, correct, if you don't get a signal on a specific transponder, you won't be able to scan it and find channels.

You are not getting some channels being picked up and others not on a specific tranponder, you said you already had some channels scanned in, but they don't work. I.E you are not picking them up.


Which actual tranponders are you having problems with? i.e what are their frequencies? and on which satellite?
(you post is a bit too muddled to ascertain with certainty)
 
sorry for the format of my post above m8. the transponders are 11958 H / 12456 V / 11411 H and 12073 H. As I said, I just have one or two channels on each of those transponders out of the total number of channels and they don't work at all! I shouldn't be able to even see them if i couldn't get the signal on those transponders right?
