*** This should be repeatable WITHOUT resorting to the types of equipment configurations that I normally use.
I believe I’ve reduced it to the simplest form.
I would appreciate confirmation, thanks. ***
== SETUP-ENVIRONMENT ==
W2KP, P4@2.4GHz
TH-1020a(03T) or SS2-rev2.3p
DVBDream 1.2.c (also a and b prior versions, just did not have time to document)
== SETUP-APPLICATION==
TOTALLY clean install. (Installing over a prior working version invalidates results as prior (good) files are retained/accessed.)
== OPPORTUNITY ==
Scan results are sporadic and/or bogus BECAUSE,
DiSEqC configuration information is NOT being recognized/saved.
1) Reverts to default lnb(f) configuration (Ku-Linear (Universal)).
2) Reverts to default UnCommitted Switch setting (Disabled). It is not necessary to actually have an UnCommitted type switch installed for this test.
== REPLICATION SEQUENCE ==
** DO NOT have a folder named DVBDREAM i.e. rename existing functioning install.
3) Execute dvbdreamsetup_12c.exe
3a) Follow the normal screen dialogs as presented after the Install button is clicked accepting all as presented up to DiSEqC Settings.
4) DiSEqC Settings
=
4a) DiSEqC Switch Type; v1.0 or v2.0
=
4b) Port 1; select 1st satellite (0050 Sirus 2/3)
4b1) LOF Settings; Ku-Circular
4b2) Uncommitted; 1
OK
=
4c) Port 2; select 2nd satellite (0070 Eutelsat W3A)
4c1) LOF Settings; C-Band
4c2) Uncommitted; 2
OK
=
4d) Port 3; select 3rd satellite (0100 Eutelsat W1)
4d1) LOF Settings; NA Bandstacked DP Ku-Hi (DBS)
4d2) Uncommitted; 3
OK
=
4e) Port 4; select 4th satellite (0130 HotBird 1-7)
4e1) LOF Settings; NA Bandstacked DP Ku-Low (FSS)
4e2) Uncommitted; 4
OK
==
5) Accept all remaining dialogs as presented.
6) App shows credits video with music playing and SCAN flashing in lower right corner.
6a) Exit/Close app.
7) Execute app.
7a) Menu OPTIONS -> DiSEqC...
7b) Select any Satellite on any Port and click Properties.
=== Here lies the BASIC problem ===
LOF Settings reverted to; Ku-Linear (Universal)
Uncommitted reverted to; Disabled
i.e. neither were selected during the setup process.
===
7b1) LOF and Switch FREQUENCIES may be valid for the original selections.
7b2) Exit the Properties of each satellite via Cancel.
8 ) Exit/Close app.
9) Execute the app.
9a) Menu OPTIONS -> DiSEqC...
9b) Reviewing the Properties of the satellites now most likely will show LOF and Switch FREQUENCIES associated to Ku-Linear (Universal).

This whole values read/used gets more convoluted as a scan is actually performed successfully or not, to the point of total confusion. You do not know if you are actually dealing with valid entries at the time of a scan or AFTER the scan and attempting to tune to a channel.
I just do not have the time to document every occurence.
This should shed some light on the subject of scan results.
If it can not be duplicated by others I will do a finite file(s) capture for debugging, It will be at least a week before I have the time.
