Yes, I'm certain.  When I ran the scan, it says it's not encrypted and the 
windows counter-part of this software also tells me it's not encrypted.  Here 
is my szap output:
../szap/szap -r -c channels.conf -l DBS XPRS*
reading channels from file 'channels.conf'
zapping to 8 'XPRS*':
sat 0, frequency = 12253 MHz H, symbolrate 20000000, vpid = 0x0000, apid = 
0x0000
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
status 1f | signal 4500 | snr 18c5 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 4500 | snr 18c8 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK


I know it's Expressvu -- only 2 unencrypted channels, but this is one of them.

Maybe my channel scan is all wrong so even if I'm getting a lock, its locking 
to the wrong place.  I created a file -- ca-expressvu, with the following:

S 12224000 V 20000000 1/2
S 12239000 H 20000000 1/2

I know that's the freq that the vertical channels start at and that is the 
freq that the horizontal channels start at.  I don't know what the "1/2" 
means -- very little documentation on it (that I can find at least).  Based 
on the other files in the dvb-s file, I've tried 1/2 2/3 5/6 7/8... etc.  
Anyone know what the correct settings would be for DBS Expressvu?  
With this, I'm ONLY getting the horizontal channels -- about 236 found.  There 
should be 450 found (approx) found.

Suggestions?
