Unnamed channels in scan of 19.2E

    Quick question for a bit of a n00b to non Sky sat stuff.

    I recently pointed a dish at 19.2E and did a scan. Squillions of channels found. Now my question is: there are between 20 and 30 that came up with no name and no network information. Instead they have a name like PR212, PR254, PR255 etc. Is this because they aren't transmitting names or because the sat box may not have the latest firmware.

    A lot of them are encrypted so I can't see them, but looking on various websites at transponder information, it would appear that many of these are live stations (and not tests).

    Thanks.

    Most of them are Premiere channels I would guess - very few Premiere channels have their name set, dunno why - to discourage hackers because it makes it harder to find them maybe?

    Foreign sat?

    Probably ppv channels or sub channels (yellow button if you have a dreambox and using some softcams and latest with latest updates).

    Thanks guys.

    Most, but not all, are Premiere as I found by cross-referencing them against various sites (lyngsat etc).

    I'll just manually edit the names so if I decide not to delete them altogether. :)
