As far as Igor's confirmation on "channel not available" I get this message only on DVB-S2 encrypted channels. I dont get it on encrypted DVB-S channels. As far as Reinhard's suggestion for the Initial channel (to tune for a few minutes before the card actually tunes), I could not get a sustained lock. It locked after about 10 minutes, it gave me TS stream errors for a few seconds and then it lost lock. I have the feeling that the channel is not available at my location/dish installation.
