<FONT COLOR="#000000">Thanks for your advice. But my point is that all other devices work with</FONT>
<FONT COLOR="#000000">USALS just the way it is alligned right now. Only mythtv deviates from</FONT>

That is interesting... I think I had a similar problem -- it had to do with the hemisphere I was in and making sure I set up USALS properly in the diseqc tree. I'll have to look at my settings to see if I can find where I had the problem again.<BR>
