It shows under Transponer a 12048v7230 and a 12096v19510
under AMC 3.
Thanks for all the help,

Charles,
The first tp you list is a DCII tp and not viewable by your DVB receiver. The second one I am guessing is a dead DCII to also and I am going just off the 19510 portion. As Bill stated there is somewhere in your receivers menus that allow you to manually create tp entries. Just as he said I would go to LyngSat - Lyngemark Satellite amd make entries from their listings. If you do not know how to read lyngsat let us know and someone will help you with it.
Interesting, re the 12048v7230. I think in reality that was a misprint, as the SR should be 7320 if it's DCII, and I think you're right (I remember tuning it once, but can't remember if it's DCII or DVB). But Lyngsat lists it as DCII. So if Lyngsat is right, it sounds like the receiver manufacturer used the Lyngsat data, along with the incorrect SR value. I always wondered where these receivers manufactured in the far east where they can't see our satellites get their transponder lists, so perhaps at least this one get the data from Lyngsat. I wonder if they are paying Lyngsat? Perhaps Lyngsat is like some other lists, that insert intentional incorrect info to detect usage like this?
But if the 7230 is correct, then I don't think it's DCII, unless it's something that only expensive DCII receivers that can do non standard SR values can tune.

Re the 12096, yeah, that hasn't been around for a couple years.
