Yup - that was what i meant - but only have the danish language on.
For each satelite - I have a sourcelist for each satelite.
And the choice for input DVB:0 porta is the same for DVB:1 port A and 
the same for port  B

That's also exactly how I have done it - but having the problem about 
beeing able to se 2 totally different channels at the same time.
When the one tuner is in use - the other input cannot see something from 
the same satelite.
I testet and checked the names several times - and cannot figure out 
what's wrong!
