Scanning Not picking up all TP signal

Hello.. i have been using DVB Dream for a very longtime .. ever since the 1.5 came out i have had nothing but trouble.. here is my question
I have a Genpix Skywalker USB ver..
Here is my issue.. i am using it to scan BEV i have the two lnb BEV origional dish.. i have plugged it in to my BEV reciever and signal is clear is as rain..80% but when i setup DVB i choose my dish type as N/A 11250000 .. and it shows 80% signal but as soon as it starts to go to the second TP..it doesnt scan anything.. and it does this.. for most of them.. some have 80% signal some dont.. all in all i end up getting 50 channels i tried network scan as well and it gets me around 80 channels...
What i have done so far..
I updated the transpoder list
I downloaded the NA nameless patch had that issue as well
re scanned.. like 20x.. still same issue
I have also formated the PC..
I even tried without diseq direct line
any help would b great thanks

what kind of switch do you use?
Just a reminder: DD does not support legacy switches (which are probably what you have right now if you are using "stock" Bell TV dish/LNBs).

switch.. i am just using cheita diseq it was working fine with dvb 1.4 ive been using it for 2 years.. i also went out bought the cable joiner thing to test out.. the piece that allows u to take 2 coax cables and spin them both to make 1.. i had the same issue with both.. ive updated the firmware on my genpix as well.. i am using REAL BEV dish with origional LNBS that they provide..

What????
you use a cable splitter?
splitters are prohibited for satellite equipment.

get rid of all splitters.
and don't use A_B mechanical switches (they are also prohibited for sat equipment).

What's your coax cable length. If it's too long, you may have a significant voltage drop on it, and as a result you would not be able to tune to Horizontal/Left transponders.

PS: since you use wrong switches (splitters), I doubt that you have a proper grounding as well (you simply don't even know/care what is a proper antenna grounding).
Every antenna has to be grounded. Without it, your diseqc switch may work intermittently.

added:
you may had to metion it from the very beginning that everything worked fine in DD ver.1.4, and stopped working in DD 1.5 (I assume, everything else was exactly the same: PC, OS, drivers, etc.). Are you positive thta trouble started after you changed DD version (and not after you changed Windows version)?
Then, it's possible that rel may need to look into possible bug he accidentally introduced in ver.1.5.
But I doubt that there is a bug there (since nobody reported such behavior yet).

got it fixed now.. wasnt grounding.. i was scanning nimiq 82 when i should have been scanning 91..
82 only has like 80 channels
91 has the 400+ channels i scanned 91 got all my channels.. it appears that the storm that has happened here moved the dish .. and i didnt realize that i use to have 91.. been so use to it for 2 years.. never paid attention to it..

thaks for the help
and rel your doing a sick job on DVB keep it up
