You could try the c-tuner blindscan util to find all transponders, linked here:
Instructions here:
Image doesn't matter, it should work on any dm500c.
Also check the enigma services file manually to see the complete list of what it has actually found, it will only display services with type 1 (standard tv) in the gui, so HD/mpeg4 and anything else unrecognized will be hidden.
This file is typically here: /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/services (plain text).
You can also check the NIT data in the transport stream to find the list of transponders that the cable provider has included (but it isn't necessarily complete or correct). IIRC you can do something like:
dvbsnoop -n 100 0x10 > /tmp/nit.txt
... to filter out 100 network info packages (they're unlikely to have more than that, 0x10 is the NIT pid). You'll need a dvbsnoop binary compiled for dm500/600, if the image doesn't already have one installed.
The output should contain entries like these for each transponder:
