Diseq settings with thor and sirius

lar282 · 2008-09-30, 11:16

Hi
just bought a firedtv and trying to get it working in a lab machine. Can't really figure out the diseq settings. Can anybody help me out.

I got one twin lnb with one cable down, so I guess there is a diseq built in. middle is pointing at Thor and other to Sirius.

What should I use for Diseq?
SimpleA for thor
SimpleB for Sirius?

or is is PosxPosy?

or doens't MP like diseq?

Tried RC2 and I get channels on Sirius but none on Thor. When trying the latest svn it doesn't work at all..

Any tip is appriciated.

Hi

I'm afraid this is a Hauppage issue and not MediaPortal. Here is a copy from Hauppage forum.
I have the same problem as you have and have had for half a year.

Hello everybody.
I've just bought an Hauppauge HVR-4000.
I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 as operating system.
Everything seems to works fine with latest driver (WinTV CD 4.4), apart the satellite dual feed system.
Let me explain...

I've an antenna with two LNB, one for Hotbird 13°E (#1 enter of the DisecQ), one for Astra 19°E (#2 enter of the DisecQ).
They are connected to a Spaun 210F DiseqC 2.0.

Keeping the configuration like that, once I launch WinTV (configured for DiseqC 1.0, LNB #1 Hotbird, LNB #2 Astra) and choice some satellite channels, WinTV becomes very slow / freezes / shows black channels / randomly works.
Scanning of channels rarely works, otherwise finds 0 channels. With ProgDVB I've been able to scan only HotBird.

If I detach the DiseqC, WinTV works perfectly, channels are changed fast, but obiouvsly I'm able to see only Hotbird channels.

What could I do? Do I have to wait newer drivers to be able to use the dual feed?

Kind regards

Still same problem with Pinnacle and Diseqc!
Only, if I switched the Satelite with other Software, like the one from Facturer or DVBViewer, Mediaportal is able, to find something on other Satelites!
If I don't: no Diseqc!!!!

It's a bad bad bug in TV-Engine!!!
