ProgDvb 6.95.07 - Random channels are appearing in my favourites list (some without stars next to them) after a channel scan.

Please send me screen of properties of this list.

Properties of this list.

Hm. How you do this? After normal scanner?

Yes. I decided to start again from scratch. So I deleted my Channel folder and re-scanned all the satellites starting at 45E. Then added some channels to favourites. Did a re-scan for some of the satellites and got random channels in favourites for the ones I had scanned.
If I delete the channels from my favourites will it delete the channels from the channel base?
I noticed this some time ago and thought I had a problem with the channel base, that was why I had decided to start fresh.

Sorry one other thing: when I scan, if the rotor is not at the position of the satellite I am scanning the dish will move but the scanning starts before the dish has finished moving so you loose the first few transponders or get a faults scan from a nearby satellite.

Thats an old problem of Progdvb. Necessary waits are not regarded.
1 - Antenna is yet not in position, but scanning starts and goes on;
2- Diseqc command and time to switch settel not observed, scanning goes on;
3- The same above for tuning, immediate tuning, no switch, card processing and lnb power up necessary delays observed;
4- Multiple tunnings, sometimes up to 5 consecutive tunnings, but all useless if delays above not made.

You must change delay for positioner (in Positioner settings). ProgDVB not have any signals when moving finished.

Is it satellite select in favorite settings?

Disable this satellite in list position.

It is disabled, none of them are ticked.

Delay for rotor is set correctly, time counts down while dish is moving but the scanner scans before count down ends.

I have found the cause! It is when we have a transponder update with a name change like the recent "Eutelsat 28A, Astra 2A, 2E, 2F" change due to the satellite line up. This causes channels to be shown more than once after a channel scan.

OK after a bit more playing around it look like it is not this after all

I am going to try some older versions of ProgDVB.

Still problem with favorites channels?
