Hi,

Make sure R polarized ones say V (13 voltz) and L polarizerd ones sayH (18 
voltz)

Set your LOF to 11250.

An old entry for this might look like:

XPRS (TV):12399:V:20::20000:5154:5155:0:0:199

here the 20 is local to my setup (diseqc setting)

I don't think BEV uses spectral inversion, I leave it to auto and it works 
happily.  Things may have changed, but I had to change the LOF to 11250 
from 10600 or 9750 in the szap code itself.
