Yeah, I've been there, and am pretty sure that I'm mainly pointed at 
dish 119 (since my local channels are listed there, unfortunately 
encrypted, along with the rest of the stuff I get).

I'm just not really sure what to pick out to set up the dvb scan file.
I think I have it figured out like this:

S 12370000 R 20000000 7/8

That should point to the frequency containing the FTA nasa channel.  Of 
course, I have no idea what my LNB is set to, and don't know what the S 
is all about (from looking at the example files, I assume it's for 
dvb-s), nor do I know anything about the occilator frequency.

I'll have to try again once I get home and can shut off my Dishnet 
receivers for awhile.

Thanks for the info, though.
