Strong SRT 6420 fail

Last week I bought a new satellite receiver: the Strong SRT 6420. I chose this receiver as it has an integrated ViaAccess card reader, to that I could decode the french TNT channels that are broadcast by satellite. I found a good priced one at Transplanet. Ordering and delivery was swift.

Installation was pretty smooth. Took a while to find out that I had to put the smart card in upside-down, but then it found the TNT-channels pretty quickly. I had to do an extra step to find the other FTA channels, but that work as well.

But then I noticed that I missed the dutch radio channels on the same transponder as the dutch TV-channel BVN. So why?

I checked the list of found channels against what is listed on Lyngsat. I discovered that I miss some TV-channels as well. It seems that I miss the channels on transponder 103 (12460H). On this transponder one finds channels such as 123TV, Das Vierte and JambaTV. I have the impression that Strong just did sloppy work and forgot some channels. There is no other reason that I see.

I did ask the Strong email help-desk, but that did not offer any help, other than that it was designed for the free channels. So why does it support nearly all of them?
