No difference, thanks for the suggestion anyway.

I've just installed RC2 on my system. It looks like Diseq1.2 is broken in Media Portal absolutely.
It does work in TVServer configuration, I can move dish and save position. The original problem "Can't scan, the card is locked" is still there.
I actually followed misterd recomendation (Thank you, misterd) and managed to scan two satellites in.
When I start MediaPortal and select a channel from the satellite the dish is currently aligned to, I have good signal and picture. When I select a channel from another satellite, I would expect to see the dish moving to it, but nothing happens, the dish remains stationary.
Did anyone else experienced the problem? Is it a bug?

Is the problem fix included in MP future plans at all?
I really enjoy the MP functionality, but when it comes to satellite TV viewing using DiseqC 1.2 motor everything falls apart. Having another satellite receiver box or using other DVB-S applications, just to move the motor, defeats the purpose and is very annoying.
Where I can see what is included in the developers plan? The roadmap provided from the main screen, doesn't have anything even remotely ressembling the problem I am having. Does it mean the DiseqC1.2 will not be supported anymore?

same problem here any other programe works fine but not media portal i tink the problem is more that the uals suport is not there and that the problem is that the programe is like the media center there is no suport 4 motors too
I have recently done an install of MP with a motorised dish using a VBOX II to convert DiSEqC 1.2 to 36V motor.
I was also having problems with the card being locked. (Using a Nova S2).
I finally managed to set up the positioning and tuning by doing the following.
Use the TVserver DiSEqC controls align the dish to the desired satellite and click the save position button.
Click OK to exit with TVserver configuration program without scanning.
Kill and restart the TVserver process
Re-open the TVserver configuration and go directly to scan. This should then scan the last satellite programmed.
Repeat the above procedure for each of the satellites required.
I think that the tuner part of the DiSEqC control is not releasing the tuner after you have finished moving and setting up positions.
I hope that this makes sense and helps.

The problem I have that even if I manage to save few satellites positions and scan them, the motor wouldn't move between satellites when I try to switch between different channels from MyTv.
I might try again using your procedure and see how it goes.

When scanning do you have the 'Create groups for each satellite' box ticked?
I do have this box ticked and have a group for each position. When moving from one group to another the motor happily moves to the next satellite position.
The problem that I have at the moment is that when I deselect channels so they are not seen from the guide, they keep coming back. ???

like a zombie this keeps coming back...
I recently re-installed my HTPC, and having been an MP fan who strayed... I got two TeVii S2 DVB cards and went DVBViewer.... I thought I'd try MP again.
I am having the same symptoms in that the "card lock" message occurs unless the LNB set-up tab and using fromaron's work around I can scan.
However - as soon as I choose any DiSEqC I get the locked card message back.
Unlike TrevorC I don't think my cards are supported (though I think its a trivial exercise to add support as DVBViewer added it in a point release since the BDA DiSEqC drivers are apparently all variation on a reference driver from the chipset vendor) but its not worth me persuing that if
(a) those with "supported" cards can't get it to work
(b) MP aren't planning to invest any time or effort into this
Is there any update from anyone?
I'd be happy to buy the development team a TeVii card if it meant this problem would get fixed!

I had a look at your logs some time ago. I think that I know what is happening, but I couldn't find a way to fix it without rewriting or changing many things in the core of TVE3.
I won't promise anything, but when I find the time and don't forget it, I will have a look at it again.

Any news from the team?
At least give us some indication on the plan, please.
