OK, adding SID values solved the problem.

I did the same as I did originally with one exception. Originally, I left the SID field blank.
This time I used 1, 2, and 3 for East, Central, and West SID values.

I set PCR = VPID
I set PMT PID = 0 (default setting)(video goes black with other settings)

The PID editor is all that is needed. There's no need to scan.
The AZBox won't save the settings correctly unless a unique SID value is provided. That was the problem.

Excellent work VC2!

Why don't you rewrite your procedures (as you wrote them in post #6) with the changes and repost them? Might come in very handy for others!

How To Manually Add Channels for CW (SD) Reception[/B]

[B]1.[/B] Go To Advanced Scan Menu
[B]2.[/B] Select Satellite (91.0 West Galaxy 17)
[B]3.[/B] Select Transponder (H 3720)
[B]4.[/B] Select PID Edit
[B]5.[/B] ADD new PID, Fill In Values For:

      [B]Channel Name: [COLOR=green]CW East [/COLOR][/B]
      [B]PMT PID: [COLOR=green]0[/COLOR][/B] (default value)(other values may cause black screen)
      [B]SID: [COLOR=green]1[/COLOR][/B] (any unique non conflicting value)
      [B]PCR: [COLOR=green]101[/COLOR][/B] (Same as VPID value)
      [B]Video PID: [COLOR=green]101[/COLOR][/B] (Enter VPID value)(CW West = 201)(CW Central = 301)
      [B]Video Type: [COLOR=green]MPEG2[/COLOR][/B] (select MPEG2 from menu for CW SD feeds)
      [B]Audio PID: [COLOR=green]102[/COLOR][/B] (Enter APID value)(CW West = 202)(CW Central = 302)
      [B]Audio Type: [COLOR=green]MPEG2[/COLOR][/B] (select MPEG2 from menu for CW SD feeds)

      Select [B]Yes[/B] at bottom of menu

[B]6.[/B] Repeat #5 for 2 additional channels
[B]7.[/B] Exit & go to TV

The correct transponder FEC and Symbol Rate values should appear 
automatically when the satellite and transponder frequency is selected
in steps 2 and 3.

Duplicate SID values will cause channel selection errors. 
Only the last entered channel with a conflicting SID will be displayed.

Now as an addition to this thread:
If you want to record these channels using the azbox place an entry into the PMT Pid field.
Use: 123 for the first channel's PMT
Use: 456 for the second channels PMT
Use: 789 for the third channels PMT

You will now be able to record these channels using the azbox.

The resulting file cannot be played on a PC with VLC. Good recordings from other channels have these tables.

It appears that the real PMT PID value is required for good exportable recordings. If AZBox doesn't know the real PMT PID value, it can't record the PMT packets.

Here is what I did:
Go to Sat/TP Edit
Enter the TP Freq "
in this case "3720"
Symbol rate
in this case "26700"
FEC
in this case "3/4"
Modulation
in this case "DVB-S/QPSK
save it
Then back-out to Advanced scan and highlight the TP Freq I want.
go to pid edit and it is empty: ok now hit the green button to add
Key in name : CW East (use remote)
PMT Pid = 0
Sid = 1
PCR=101
V/pid = 101
V/type Mpeg-2
A/pid=102
A/type = mpeg 2
Save "YES".
Now hit the green button again!
Key in name : CW West
PMT Pid = 0
Sid = 2
PCR=201
V/pid = 201
V/type Mpeg-2
A/pid=202
A/type = mpeg 2
Now save it."YES" then...
Hit the green button again to add a tp
Key in name : CW Mt.
PMT Pid = 0
Sid = 3
PCR=301
V/pid = 301
V/type Mpeg-2
A/pid=302
A/type = mpeg 2
hit Yes /"save"

this is all done using your remote.
