    Hi,

    I have Technisat Skystar USB 2 HD CI card (BDA driver 1.0.6.102) -> diseqc 1.2 Moteck motor ->1.0 diseqc Digiality switch -> Ku linear and Ku circular LNBs. This setup perfectly works with ProgDVB pro supplied with the card, however MP controls motor only from the config dialog (allowing to remember sat positions and move the dish) but does not when I change chanells from the MP. Does anyone has an idea whether this is MP bug or something wrong is with setup?

    Logs are attached

    Many thanks in advance,

    MaxT

    A small update for the above: during one of TV Server installation runs (I installed it and removed several times trying to force MP to manage the dish motor), during chanells scan being invoked and started scanning the second sat, I switched to the Diseqc tab of the TV Server setup and in a few seconds noticed that the current sat was changed from the position 1 to the position 2 and the dish actually moved! I tried this several times and it works, not consistently however. From the MP window there is stil no go. May be it is related to proper timing of the comand and/or the command should be repeated (ProgDVB has the ability to repeat and by default suggests repeating diseqc commands for Twinhan/Azhurwave devices twice). Hope this helps to fix the issue.
