I'm pretty sure people used it for years, but yeah, I won't doubt that this is an obsolete entry. Yet, people may still be using old antennas somewhere, so we can't simply remove it or replace. Maybe we could change its description to say that this is the old universal standard. > > > > 2) the "new" universal one, with seems to be used by most modern > > satellite dishes in Europe nowadays: > > > > EXTENDED > > Astra 1E, European Universal Ku (extended) > This needs renaming as 1E has long gone.

Neither libdvbv5 nor Kaffeine has a concept of "default". The default varies from the region of the globe where you're sitting, and the actual satellite to where an antenna system is pointed. Also, it changes over time. Thanks, Mauro
