Something is wrong here - afaik my 9200s is a 9500 without the CAM and
I have no problems that look like yours - others though!
Now, do you remember to set the correct polarity - remember it's your
analog reciever that controls this if you are using the
"splitter"-way? and it controls the selection of the high or low-band!
I'm using a Grundig Twin Universal LNB and therefore the Nokia has
it's own connection to the LNB - unless I'm looking at 37-45W - in
this case I'm using another dish that's controled by an analog
reciever with a SWM quatro-band LNB. I must then enter another LO. for
the high-band (10750) and remember to select a channel on the analog
reciever that has the same polarity and is in the band as the
digital-channel I'm looking for.
Hope this hasn't confused you too much.

Can't make it work.
It works OK or Astra and Hotbird, but when I point the dish to Sirius or
Thor and enter the frequency of one of the digital channels there under
the heading "Transponder frequency" (I guess that's what I am supposed
to do) and also enter the FEC and symbolrate of that channel from the
list, the Mediamaster "searches" but returns emptyhanded every time.
So perhaps this version really is blocked, so that it can only receive
channels from the two satellites?

Just move the dish to the desired satellite and enter the
Installation - Antenna Adjustment-menu and don't bother about the sat.
just enter the other parameters and don't forget to change the
LNB-parameter if it isn't right allready (default is Universal-LNB).
AFAIK the sat-choice only comes into play when you are doing an
automatic search.
BTW. I think the package with the swedes is using the Conax-cam, which
is not on the market at the moment(?)
