I think another reason is the network discovery function, which might(!) have added muxes incorrectly or created duplicates. Not sure. I had it activated initially, but already deactivated it some time ago.
Network discovery and presets is never a good idea, the lists are so out of date, it's always best to use NIT as it usually prevents duplication, even the slightest difference in frequencies between the NIT and the presets and Tvheadend will see it as a new mux (I've ran into this problem on DVB-T).
Look at your muxes list and pick a couple that are "OK" then delete them all and re-add. You will get some muxes that'll FAIL even some in the NIT. I have a total of 4 Failed on 28E.

Cheap cabling? poor insulation? Have you set up the SAT->IP Server to turn off LNBs when idle?
