Hi,

I have exactly the same setup and the same problem.
I've searched this forum and googled it and I haven't been able to find out how to setup something like this. As far as I can see there is no support for cascaded diseqc switches in MediaPortal.
Do you have anything new?

Do you have anything new?

as i understand, there are two ways:
1) usage of dvbsbridge;
2) waiting for coders to add this functionality
It seems to me that it's not too hard to implement such functionality. Cascaded switches have different commands (uncommitted diseqc 1.1, committed 1.0 and motor 1.2) AFAIR, you must send these commands one after another.
first you send command to uncommitted switch, then to motor or to committed
I was looking for another solution: in theory, mythtv must work fine with this configuration, but i've only tested it with diseqc 1.0. When configuring it (configuration is not clear, it's rather hard) I saw fields for uncommitted switches.
