<div>Hi Oliver - I don't have my backend in front of me since I'm travelling, but I use Fedora + Myth + Sky. When you add the tuner - make sure you select DVB type, then you DO have to set up the LNB - if I remember correctly it's UNIVERSAL or EUROPEAN, or something like that.

<div>When you tune - you have to give it the initial parameters to do a scan though. So if you want to tune to the BBC 1 - you need to add frequency, 10773000 (add 3 zeros to the number you look up in the links below to correct the units), H(orizontal) polarization, Symbol rate 22000 (or 22000000), NID 5/6

<div>You do it for each transponder (which typically has 5 or 6 channels in it, depending on the bitrate used), there is a setting to ignore radio stations and one to ignore encypted stations. If you are using a CAM with a sky card - uncheck 'ignore encrypted stations'
</div><br>Please let us know if that does the trick.</div>
