Need some help with a satellite installation

[JP23]

Hi,

I've been asked to set up NPVR on a spare machine in my office using an old Hauppauge Nova s card.
We have a satellite on the roof with several lnb's connected to a 3 way diseqc switch (or so I'm told), but no-one seems to know which satellites they are set up for.

My expereince with DVB-S is limited, and I've never encountered diseqc before, so I'm not sure how to proceed.

Does anyone know of any way of finding out what to scan for, preferably without getting on the roof?

Why not start by scanning on 28.8 (0282 ASTRA 2, EUROBIRD 1 (28.2E).ini) which is what the majority of the dishes in the UK point at. See if that works first before clambering about on the roof.

I've tried that, for every diseqc port, we're seeing some channels, but not the UK one's I would expect. Lots of German stuff.
