Hi Artem!

I had the same "problem".When add no options I am only getting a few
services.
When I add the "-n" option I get some more services but all services I
only get, when I am adding "-n -5".

the "-5" means:
multiply all filter timeouts by factor 5 for non-DVB-compliant section
repitition rates

The scan takes a long time then, but I get 1476 services (Astra 19.2).
My device is a Pinnacle PCTV 452e (USB).
Perhaps this switch is working with your device, too?
 
I also run it with "-5".
I personaly don't like to use network advertisements (-n switch) since I don't trust them.
I use a full frequency filled INI file.
 
If you have a stb0899 device, don't forget to add "-k 3".
