Yes, these channels were previously on another transponder at 12363
MHz and I had no problem then. Some weeks ago they were changed to the
transponder at 10788 and they all stopped working. This seems to be
(I'm not sure) the only Astra transponder transmitting digital
channels. I have not tried these channels with tuxzap (I use VDR), but
I will, since it might be some problem with VDR. Otherwise it could be
a problem with the Diseqc-Switch not setting correctly the LNB to
low-band. I could check this by connecting my old analog receiver.
