I've got a TBS 6981 card which I have installed today. I've gone through the 7MC wizard and it's found most of the channels. However, there are quite a few missing - Channel 5/BBC HD/Scuzz etc. Do I have to find and manually tune these in now? It's all new for me :)
 
Thw W7MC setup wizard does tend to miss quite a lot of stuff, unfortunately, so you'll probably have to do at least one manual transponder scan (Tasks > Settings > TV > TV Signal > Satellite Transponder Scan > Single Transponder Scan).

You should be able to find the tuning frequencies for your missing stations here in the right-hand column. :)

Thanks for that mate, I've stumbled across that page tonight so I'll check what's missing tomorrow and have a play.
 
Started scanning the channels this morning and got most of them. It's taken me some time to get the channels numbered as per freesat cos it gives them completely different numbers and then you have the channels in the 1000 + range that you need to rename as well as changing to regional channels. However, I've messed up a couple of channels and when I scan for them again nothing shows. How do I get them back? If I do another download will it overwrite everything I've done? I thought it might be a bit easier to setup than this but I'll keep plugging away.
