[QUOTE="aucklander, post: 645390, member: 78452"] Hi guys, I did not know this thread is still running... I recently tried to use a diseqc switch with no success (after upgrading to a 90cm dish and adding a thirt LNB). It appears that MediaPortal can use diseqc swithces but with one sort of card only, something called Technotrend, and even then with some tricks and additional third-party software... I could not find this card in NZ, and on eBay it sells for US$160 + p&p, which makes it quite pricey... I removed the diseqc and reverted back to a tone switch (not having Freeview & SBS channels on DVB-s). The arrangement worked perfectly with my STB, so the switch is OK, it is MediaPortal unable to manage the diseqc function... for some reason... so now one of the LNBs just sits there for the pigeons to rest on it... hopefully this issue is on a "to do" list somewhere with a developer, along with other issues like incapability to decode analogue tv from a hybrid card (like Avermedia Trinity I have).
