Thank you for reply. I see that in your channels.conf are stations from both satellites. In mine only for 1 satellite. When I enter "scan-s2" I get a list of all satellites, so after that, I tried "scan-s2 -s 1" and then I get this response:
API major 5, minor 2
usage: scan-s2 [options...] [-c | initial-tuning-data-file]
atsc/dvbscan doesn't do frequency scans, hence it needs initial
tuning data for at....
So I conclude my setup needs information about what satellite on what position on the DiSEqC switch? Am I correct?
If you see my diseqc.conf, does the "1:" above the first satellite mean switch position 2 then?
Do you have your setup working? What steps did you follow? Is there a manual somewhere?
Here are some more outputs of what I am trying but I feel lost somehow...

[root@moi vdr]# scan-s2 -s 0
API major 5, minor 2
usage: scan-s2 [options...] [-c | initial-tuning-data-file]
atsc/dvbscan doesn't do frequency scans, hence it needs initial
tuning data for at least one transponder/channel.
-c scan on currently tuned transponder only
-v verbose (repeat for more)
-q quiet (repeat for less)
-a N use DVB /dev/dvb/adapterN/
-f N use DVB /dev/dvb/adapter?/frontendN
-d N use DVB /dev/dvb/adapter?/demuxN
-s N use DiSEqC switch position N (DVB-S only)
-S N use DiSEqC uncommitted switch position N (DVB-S only)
-r sat move DiSEqC rotor to satellite location, e.g. '13.0E' or '1.0W'
-R N move DiSEqC rotor to position number N
-i N spectral inversion setting (0: off, 1: on, 2: auto [default])
-n evaluate NIT messages for full network scan (slow!)
-5 multiply all filter timeouts by factor 5
for non-DVB-compliant section repitition rates
-O pos Orbital position override 'S4W', 'S19.2E' - good for VDR output
-k cnt Skip count: skip the first cnt
messages of each message type (default 0)
-I cnt Scan iterations count (default 10).
Larger number will make scan longer on every channel
-o fmt output format: 'vdr' (default), 'vdr16x' for VDR version 1.6.x or 'zap'
-x N Conditional Access, (default -1)
N=-2 gets all channels (FTA and encrypted),
output received CAID :CAID:
N=-1 gets all channels (FTA and encrypted),
output CA is set to :0:
N=0 gets only FTA channels
N=xxx sets ca field in vdr output to
xx:
-t N Service select, Combined bitfield parameter.
1 = TV, 2 = Radio, 4 = Other, (default 7)
-p for vdr output format: dump provider name
-e N VDR version, default 2 for VDR-1.2.x
ANYTHING ELSE GIVES NONZERO NIT and TID
Vdr version 1.3.x and up implies -p.
-l lnb-type (DVB-S Only) (use -l help to print types) or
-l low[,high[,switch]] in Mhz
-u UK DVB-T Freeview channel numbering for VDR
-P do not use ATSC PSIP tables for scanning
(but only PAT and PMT) (applies for ATSC only)
-A N check for ATSC 1=Terrestrial [default], 2=Cable or 3=both
-U Uniquely name unknown services
-D s Disable specified scan mode (by default all modes are enabled)
s=S1 Disable DVB-S scan
s=S2 Disable DVB-S2 scan (good for owners of cards that do not
support DVB-S2 systems)
-X Disable AUTOs for initial transponders (esp. for hardware which
not support it). Instead try each value of any free parameters.
I also tried:
scan-s2 (I get a list of satellites and explanation of how to use command)
scan-s2 -s 1, 2, 3, or 4 (every time same output)
scan-s2 1: or 0: or 2: (output about rotor.conf so that is wrong also)
Something is missing but what?
Any help very much appreciated.
