You should be able to do this:
copy your current channel list to a fat32 formated usb stick: Main Menu: Usb: Data transfer● Upload Channel.
Transfer this channel list ro computer and edit with the channel editor:
https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?t=110802 <= click here
NSS 6 at 95.0°E using the lyngsat info:

http://www.lyngsat.com/nss6.html
create new satellite and use info from above web page
from column Freq. Tp and SR-FEC SID-VPID you should be able to build your own transponder list from the first row this would give you:
10963 V 2960-5/6.
Start channel editor, open your channel list
goto satellite window
select an unused satellite right click on it and select modify
Satellite: NSS 6
Position: 095.0
press [OK]

drag this satellite with left click to position 1 when adding transponders you don't have to select the satellite every time.

select now transponder window
right click and select insert:
Frequency: 10963
Polarity: V
Symbol Rate: 2960
Fec: 5/6

and so on for all transponders you want (TV channels only, TV& radio, ...)

drag on satellite window the NSS 6 from possition 1 back to where you want.

save channel list and copy to USB stick
upload channellist to receiver
in satellite setup:
select NSS 6 at 95°E
setup diseqc if multifeed
press ●, you have to save always
exit
Motorized Setting: diseqc 1.2 or USALS motor, check if you have reception:
Level: yellow blocks, Quality: blue blocks
exit
Auto Navigation
on Left side select NSS 6, press ok
on Right side:
Search Type: TV if only tv channels are wanted
Network Search: Off
Select Scan: Press OK, and press ok on remote
save channel list back to USB put it on computer for safekeep
if you want you can edit, sort, put favorites, ... all on your computer with the editor.

Cheers Giga mate, I'll give it a try

enjoy, not to many transponders to add, if you have a big screen, you could have browser and channel editor both open and then copy paste the relevant info form browser to editor, saving some typing.

Thanks Giga, like you say not too many transponders as I will be selecting the ones with English speaking channels. To side track a bit is there any piece of kit that will allow me to hook up two receivers with both V&H polarity without having a master and slave situation (having to switch between polarity on one reciever) also without having to go on the roof (ie no monoblock) I would like to do it between the incoming and the receivers.

Thanks for all your help

for simultaneous use no, using one box or the other: loop through. If you want to use each box independently: twin lnb: stacker -> cable -> de-stacker - each receiver. Just use if you are not able to have a second cable from roof to inside: expensive solution to save extra cable. This allows you to have 2 full signals over one coax, these do even exist for use with 2 motorized dishes over one sat cable. could require additional powersupply?

you can also try this:
Menu
Installation press OK
Select Satellite Set Up
Select Satellite then using L/R hand keys select the satellite that you want to store
then press Yellow button then press Exit
Select Motorized Settings press OK
Then select DisEQc Motor
Select Transponder and select an active TP
then select 1.2 diseqc or usals using the right arrow key to move dish
Using the 1.2 Diseqc
Select Move by using the left or right arrow key to move dish to get strongest signal
Now go to Save press OK
Press Red button to scan for channels on that satellite

if you want to add a satellite not on the list follow this:
1/menu
2/motor control 1.2
3/select & name a new satellite from spare satellites at the end of the list,
4/enter transponder data for one Tp ,
You now have a new satellite all that remains for you to do is build up the data base via http://www.lyngsat.com/satlist.php or by a blind scan

or for USALS:
Staying in USALS****>
1/menu
2/sat set up
3/go to spare satellites at the end of list,
4/press green button & name satellite,
5/press yellow button to save,
6/go to motorized settings & enter satellite degrees & press OK,
7/now go to Advanced settings to add transponder data or carry out a blind scan & save.

I hope this helps you
