Hi Stephen,

Thanks for all these explanations !

I tried again with

LOF- =  		 9750 MHz
LOF+ = 		10600 MHz
LOF Switch = 	11725 Mhz

No signal for scanning!

And still the message "DVBChan[1](/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0): Your frequency 
setting (114000) is out of range. (min/max:925000/2175000)"


But the LOF Switch (11725 Mhz) is not in the middle oh LOF- (9750 Mhz) and LOV
+ (10600 Mhz).

Did I understand you right ?

LOF Switch does'nt depend on LOF- and LOF+ but on the capabilty of the card ?

Iif so, the only problem I have seems to be the above error message about the 
frequency setting.

I have no splitting. My Optex antenna has 2 LNBs but acually I use only one.

Bye

Klaus
