Hi, everyone. As you can see I'm very new to GBPVR and have set it up and have it working well (1.2.13). 
The only problem I'm facing right now is setting up my DVB-S receiver (Pinnacle PCTV 400e USB) to scan channels.
I've searched the forum up and down, but couldn't find any solution - am I the only one with this problem?? :confused:
Anyway, I have a monobloc lnb with two heads, one looks at Astra 19,2 and the other one at Hotbird 13.0. The dish is set up correctly because I can view all channels from both satellites with my STB.
I've set up two different capture sources (one for Hotbird and one for Astra), have set the Diseqc setting to SimpleA for Hotbird and SimpleB for Astra. Scanning Hotbird worked quite well (even though it couldn't find all the channels which are available) but I had no luck scanning Astra channels. I've tried all possible Diseqc settings (even used SimpleA for Astra too) without any luck. :mad:
I'm stuck cause I don't know why the system is able to scan Hotbird channels but not Astra channels. Did I do something wrong with the Diseqc?
What I've also noticed is that if I change the Diseqc setting for Hotbird (SimpleB instead of SimpleA) it still scanned channels. :confused:
Sorry for the long question, but I wanted to give as much information as possible. I'm also attaching my log files from the scan this morning (Astra).
Many thanks for the great work with GBPVR and your help with my issue.
