there's only a few pics there, I just checked my folder I have there are 122 pictures of switch diagrams... I should zip them and post them on there...

I have to disagree with that. I understand the "theory" of Turning "Network search" to "off"
but the reality of it and the out come of it are two different things I found...
"You will put about an hour into this process" False!!! that is so not true...
In this example I use 110 sat. to scan. I just did a factory default and re did my sat settings...
I turn Network search to "Off" and I start the scan and completes in 2:53 min. with 483 ch. scanned in.
I re factory default again and re set the sat settings and do the same but now with Network Search "ON"
and I start the scan and completes in 3:14 min. with 515 ch. scanned in ! I've done this before and found
Network Search "OFF" will result in many missing channels I have found..
If it takes an hour or an over extended amount of time to scan with Network Search "On"
that's a sing your system has issues in play and that would tell me its likely you have a cheap leaky diseqc switch.
Get your self a good switch that are isolated good from port to port... I've tested many brands of diseqc and all have let me down at some point with scanning... I don't know why just first hand experience that I have.. the best switch I found for scanning
are the 4x1 EMP-Centauri diseqc switch. I have these installed on many systems.. they proven to be fool proof over the years.

I am using a three horn DPP, no additional switches.
I have had missing channels, then that was resolved with a channel list sp0iler posted (thanks).
Now because of some system change arounds I have some missing channels again.
The channel list didn't fix it this time. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I dunno.

You say these switches solve this type problems? I might get one. Are they applicable to my DPP installation?

Actually I have an unused DP44 and power inserter. I haven't tried that to see if it solves anything.

What should I try?
