Fine tuning was done by starring the laptop screen szap output to find out when it started to printout LOCKED output. (I used ssh from the laptop to dvb card computer where I had put the channel info for one astra channel and tried to szap for that one. That of course meant that I needed the correct channel info for one channel in satellite even before I could try to scan channels from that satellite...) Mika
