I have only one video source in "Video Sourec Setup". It's name is "Deutsch" 
(= German). So I don't understand what to delete.

I have the following tuner: 
http://sundtek.com/shop/By-Brand/Manufacturer/Sundtek-Devices/Sundtek-SkyTV-Ultimate-6-DVB-S/S2.html.
It has only one input. My antenna has 2 LNBS, but I don't use the second one. 
So one LNB is connected to the above tuner by cable. There is a cable on the 
second LNB, but ther is no tuner connected. Ok ?

I have only one tuner in "Input Connections", it's name is "DVB /dev/dvb/
adapter0/frontend0"

It's night in New Zeeland now, you work in the night ?
