I'll be getting the satellite dbox2 out of the loft and plugging the redundant Sky dish into it in the hope I can get a better selection of FTA; Virmin's isn't even up to terrestrial freeview standards. I've sourced a UK enigma satellite image to begin with. I'm hoping the config is similar enough that I can take the satellites.xml from that and bob it into the Commando11.3 image.

@satsearching: I'm pretty sure you're a sat dbox man? Can I do that? I have some time off work coming up so I'm hoping to get a few hours free to tinker around in the next few days.

edit: Well I've been playing around today. I got an enigma image up and running and am now using C11.3 on Astra28E. I'm guessing this is a combination of BSB and freesat transponders. There are a few more channels than Virmin but the majority of them are garbage. There are a couple more +1 channels, music and a kids channel or two.

edit2: FWIW I've noticed that an enigma scan yields a more complete set of results. Neutrino satellite scanning is pretty flakey generally. However, channel navigation in enigma is generally a pain in the ass. I'll do a bit more tinkering over the next few days.
