Hi - Finally got my dm500s working to a fashion!! I aligned my dish/motor on 1w and added sat 28.2e and 13e - all ok - tried to add 19.2e using the same method - rotor setup - blue for next page - scroll to correct sat then use left and right to move the motor to the correct position but 19.2 isnt on the list of sats available!! Ive checked the sat find option and its in there but its not in sat configuration and i cant see a way to manually add it? Ive even checked my sats.xml folder and its in there with the transponders but there just doesnt seem to be a way to set it up as a sat position?
 
Just tried that and it has removed all the other useless sats that I dont need from my epg and replaced them with "removed service" headers where the other sats were. But when i go into sat configuration 19.2 is still not there and i can select an empty box and put it in there as it doesnt come up on the drop down list?? All the others do including a couple of others that i added on my new satellites.xml file?? Seems to have an aversion to 19.2?? Since i flashed my box to the latest pli image its been giving me nightmares!!!
 
I have a dm500s clone (eagle)

I set my lat and long then used the download server(pli jade non maxvar) to get the henksat mororised channel listings (bottom one) works ok (my dish is badly misaligned), if I try scanning I get very little. get some glitching on 28.2 but the ber is to high anyway on 28.2 so not to fussed as so far havn't missed to much. the sat is mainly for my missus who is west ham mad and doesn't want to miss any of the epl matches which are on sats other than 28.2 anyway.

In the end I flashed with pli jade2 - thought I would try an older version and it turns out its the image that was on the box when I bought it!! It seems far more stable and faster!! So far so good!!
