Have you checked your settings for the LNB frequency(ies)?
I assume you have tried dvbscan? If so what do you use for the "-l"
option or do you let that default to UNIVERSAL? In my case, using a
single frequency LNB from HotChip I need to use "-l 11290" before
my channels match Lyngsat. If you are using the default setting
you can just subtract/add your error to the default value and use
that number. This/these are the number(s) you'll be using for the
myth card config.
