What DVB card? What satelite?

BTW:
TV channels have a video stream ID and (normally but not necessarily) at least one audio stream.
Radio channels don't have a video ID, but at least one audio.
Data channels don't have any of those.

That's the way, DVB software (and receivers as well) do specify services.
There's no service type flag in the transmission.

This also means, if something goes wrong at scan time, giving false stream coordination, a station might be misinterpreted, like TV as Radio, or Radio as Data or similar.

Sometimes scan time has to be prolonged, as some nasty providers are trying to save data rate from important system streams.
Also possible, some hardware needs more time than usual, to tune in after a transponder change.
That's why Prog needs full details, to possibly fix relevant timings or add more options.

i'm using Hauppauge Nexus and watching Echostar 5, the thing is this:

Few days ago I was watching the channel 500 (ONPPV), but later I Reescan the satellite for see if I was losing any transponder, and the results was this, 8 news channels But many channels that were previously were replaced by data channels so now I can not see, how can I fix it?

thanks

Try to let update channels manually, from channel properties.
If this helps, set channel to not update.

AFAIK, new versions of ProgDVB come with an option for prolonging scanner timing.
Older ones need this being added to ProgDVB.ini at the end: (value may vary)
