hey,

thanks for the info.

if i don't use diseqc, i can view every possible channels for each 
satellite, the problem appears only when it goes through diseqc.

thanks for the tips on how fixing the system, but because i have no 
patiente and i'm a newbie (and have nothing of value in this machine), i 
ended up reinstalling everything, which takes less time for me.

i just sent a message to the list, saying if it's possible i've broken 
the card somehow. Please, have a look at it and tell me what you think.

thanks.
