BGT3595 - Getting Diseqc to work (1 Viewer)

[ColinT]

I am the proud owner of the BlackGold BGT3595.
I have no problems with DVBT, and simple DVB-S (though there is an outstanding problem with DVBS2 on both channels.

I do have a problem with Diseqc (switched only - I dont need motorised). The card puports to support Diseqc 2.0.

Despite the endorsment on the BGT website that they have fantastic aftersales service, they to date have not answered my query.

Basically the BDA standard implementation does not work for Diseqc. I am happy to develop an implementation for the card, but have no information on the command set specific to the card. Looking at the other specific implementations, they all seem to be fine for using the standard Diseqc command, but add other information at the end of the output buffer, which is of defferent length for different implementations.

The card seems to work with MCE.

How do I go about finding out what is sent by the card , so that I can make MP do the same.

Alternatively has anybody got previous BGT cards working with Desiqc

Any help gratefully received.

Bump!
I have a Pinnacle 7010ix card here. I'm using the Blackgold BGT3540 driver (the 7010ix has the same chips) in order to avoid unresolved issues with S3 resume and 4+GB RAM compatibility with the Pinnacle driver for SAA716x based cards. Like ColinT, I don't need DiSEqC positioning support... just switching for a two port multiswitch. My old Twinhan card worked fine with the exact same setup (OS, MP version, codecs, cabling, multiswitch etc.), which proves that it is simply a matter of getting the correct DiSEqC command to be sent. Is there any chance of getting the manufacturer specific DiSEqC interfaces from Blackgold and/or Pinnacle?
