<div>Myth runs through the scanning procedure, but does not appear to

<div>Also, whilst scanning, I get messages such as "Frequency xxx,

<div>So far I've been following the instructions at <a

wrong.</div>
<div><br>

<div>I actually can't believe the whole set-up seems to be such of a
rigmarole. Surely there must be a better way of doing this? If Windows
Media Centre offers pretty much plug'n'play operation, why is it so
confusing setting up Myth? Presumably everyone in the UK who is using
a DVB-S card to tune into freesat channels will have largely the same
settings? Any variance might come from differing DVB cards, but then
presumably, that could be handled with a bespoke config for each
device, allowing the tuning (etc) to remain the same?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It's getting rather frustrating, seeing as it takes 10-15 mins
for each scan - and I've done it 4-5 times now... grr!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any help or insight would be gratefully received. </div>

<div>Thanks</div>

Using exactly that card ( with one LNB pointed at Freesat) Only tricky
non-standard bit was having to compile th edrivers yourself, which you
say you have running. After that all was the same as any scan and save.
If you get to the end of a scan, it should pop up and say " no new
channels found" or "X new channels found" and ask you if you want to
save them. If you are not getting that there is somthing far wrong.Daft
question, but you are scanning the right ports are you ? I have mine
set up with 3 LNBs, one direct and one through a diseqc switch, so
there are many options to scan the wrong card port/ wrong diseqc port
etc. <br>
