I have stable Linux Debian.
Linux video 2.6.18 #1 Fri Sep 29 23:23:41 EEST 2006 i686 GNU/Linux and DiseqC with 3 ports 0,1,2.
0 - HotBird
1 - Sirius
2 - Amos

When I scanning each sattelite with 'scan -s SATNO file_with_frequencies' I see right channels for each satellite.

Then when I running any channel at Hotbird with parameter '--dvb-satno=0' - everything works greatly.

But when I try to see Inter+ at Sirius:
12073 H Inter + 6520 6521 .522 Uk

then I see that it's works only with '--dvb-satno=2'. But third satno is Amos, not Sirius.

And now I can't lock any channel from satellite Amos.

What I makes wrong, or it is really bug of vlc ?
Because when I check each channel wich utility szap - everything works greatly.

Thank you in advance.

full commands for example:

lc --color --ttl 12 --ts-es-id-pid --programs=6520 dvb: --dvb-frequency=12073000 --dvb-satno=2 --dvb-srate=27500000 --dvb-voltage=18 --dvb-fec=3/4 --sout-standard-access=udp --sout-standard-mux=ts --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=1024,ab=96,deinterlace}:duplicate{dst=standard{access=http,mux=ts,url=:8100},select="program=6520"}'

It was Inter+ from Sirius. But dvb-satno is 2, like for Amos.

And that's OTV from Amos.
vlc --color --ttl 12 --ts-es-id-pid --programs=513 dvb: --dvb-frequency=10722000 --dvb-satno=2 --dvb-srate=27500000 --dvb-voltage=13 --dvb-fec=3/4 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=1024,ab=128}:standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:8080}' -vvv

check if you have in dmesg:

streamer:/etc/videolan# dmesg | grep b2c2

i think that means, that drivers in the kernel aren't correct. Download them from linuxtv.org and try to compile again. In my case that helped.
