Are you using DiSEqC 1.1 or 1.0?

If 1.1, it may be power surges on the LNB cable as the LNB's power on tripping the over current protection and resetting the 1.1 switch to port one.
If so, try a 2A 12V power supply instead of the 1.5A supply supplied.
I now run my boxes through a 12V UPS, (uninterruptible power supply, Battery pack) so any extra power needed is supplied with no voltage drop.

Brother I am using both DiSEqC 1.1 or 1.0 in cascade configuration and i don't think it is due to surge because earlier my system is working fine with the same configuration and the day from which i updated my box this issue arised :cry:

There are options in the menus for repeat sending the DiSEqc commands.
Maybe the default has turned those off that you had on before.
As the Nova sends twice anyway that is unlikely. Maybe they fixed the double send and now you do need the repeat send menu "ON"

Are you also using USALS or DiSEqC motor?
If so it is best to use these on port one of the 1.1 switch as that is the power on default if over current does trip.
Check all your setting after you imported your user file.
Change the switch setting, exit from that sat on the antenna list and then go back and correct it. This may restroe any fault in your user file.
Also check the USALS lat long, if you use that.

I will test this issue with my cascade network and nova later.
I have a busy day as we are likely to be in lock down again at midnight.
