I narrowed down the choice to TBS 6981 and DVBSky 952, both twin tuners. The DVBSky card is a newer one, with a more advanced chipset, and many users of Openelec reported very good results with the card, including near perfect operation. In respect of this, I'm more closer to go with the DVBSky card, but I'm afraid that this card will not work properly under MP. The specifications of the card are:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">RF: Montage M88TS2020</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Demodulator: 2nd generation <a href="http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Montage_M88DS3103" target="_blank">Montage M88DS3103</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">PCIe Bridge: Conexant CX23885</li> </ul>Is there a way to know if DiSEqC motor would work under MP 1.4.0? Or the card itself?I know you said that it is not too difficult (for an expert) to add support for this card to the current TV Server version, but that most probably it will not happen until the new TV Server is released (and that could be far away, perhaps year). Until then, we are stuck with a non working TV Server version with a great card. If I buy the card and send you the logs or whatever information you need (I can give access to my HTPC via VNC/TeamViewer if you need), could you do a big-big favour for all of us out here in need of a great DVB-S2 card that has no standby/resume, etc problems, has a great price, is available, has excellent channel zapping times, external power supply for motor and reliable power, to make a long story short: THE card most of us is looking for to build a stable HTPC and DVB-S2. I know others are asking support for older versions of MP, but why would you support older versions? In case of a never one: MP 1.4.0 is working rock solid for me since the first day of release, and I can tell you, it is working a lot (at the moment with DVB-C card). LiveTV is excellent, Moving Pictures and TV Series too, did not encounter any serious error or problem. If we are left with this version, I can say that it is basically a very reliable and excellent software. If we have full support for DVBSky 952 card then it could be used for many many months until the new TV Server engine is released and hopefully all these issues with different cards would be resolved. I do not usually ask for things, but in this case, I would very kindly like to ask for your help to implement DiSEqC motor support for the DVBSky 952 card in to the current 1.4.0 version of MP. I'm not asking for a help for a card that I already have, but for a card that appears to be the very best choice at the moment, and that I would like to buy to have a great working card with my favourite MP<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> The TBS6981 is also a very popular card, but the 952 is better in terms of hardware, less heat, more precise and sensitive demodulator, real PCIe bridge (not a USB conversion)  and all this for a great price. PS: I'm not working for DVBSky or have any connection with them, I have just made a very thorough research regarding available DVB-S2 cards, and after taking everything into consideration, it looks very much that DVBSky 952 is the best option at the moment. In hope of positive answer! Thanks!</blockquote>
