Problems with transponder locking

Vu+ Newbie
Hello,

i have vu+ solo2 (BH3.05) with two satellites connected to Tuner B. There are problems with locking DVB-S2 transponders what matches frequency between both satellites (4.8E and 36.0E). I can get lock on one satellite, however the same transponder frequency cannot be locked on the second satellite, where in Satfinder, SNR keeps jumping between 40-55% and does not lock. For example, 11785 V 5/6 DVB-S2 8PSK does not lock for 4.8E, but locks on 36.0E with 11785 R 3/4 DVB-S2 8PSK.

satellites.xml updated to the latest version. Tried also latest Vu+ solo2 image too, no changes. Other unique transponders lock fine, also for DVB-S2.

Please advice, thanks!

11785 V 27500 DVB-S2 8PSK has two transponders, using the same details, but on different beams, at least according to lyngsat, one on the Nordic BSS beam, but the other is on the sub saharan Africa beam, which might be causing the problems:

But also, that frequency, 11785 V 27500 DVB-S2 8PSK 5/6 has just had TV Play Sports move to it, and might be broadcasting at either a lower power, or other, as TV Play Sports were showing EPL football, Free To Air, which didn't go down to well with the EPL.
