Until now, I was not able to find anybody who might help.   Sorry, I have missed the nasty hacks and workaround part. I could wait for the new TV engine of course, no way to hurry you guys.  I'm so sorry for this, I have not expressed myself the way I wanted with "not working". The contrary: I wanted to say that for me the whole MP 1.4.0, including the TV Server part, is working perfectly, I did not encounter nothing serious since the release, and it is heavily used every day. What I wanted to say with this that I have the EXCELLENT MP 1.4.0 and the DVBSky card and I'm missing on the rotor function<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />I would again take the opportunity and say a big-big thanks for all of you who are working so hard on MP to bring us the best HTPC software available, your work is very much appreciated and I would never ever think about saying anything bad about MP or the work of the dev's, who are doing this in their free time! I'm so much interested in this because I find MP 1.4.0 very good and would be so nice to have the proper support for this card.I also understand that it is not so supported card (yet), but based on the specifications and the few feedbacks we have (from MP and Openelec community), it is perhaps the best card available for DVB-S2 PCIe at the moment. Of course, time will tell how reliable the card will be, and if the drivers are updated regularly, and the issues addressed with the drivers promptly. If they do so, they can have a very popular product on the market. Most of the cards cost much more, offer less, and still have very serious bugs. TBS cards have problems with heat, are using older chipsets, and many users report broken cards after some time (perhaps due to the heat?). Technisat has serious driver issues with no support at all, Blackdog is very expensive and also has many bugs, etc.Perhaps it would be a good idea to contact DVBSky and ask for sample cards for the devs, if I was a card developer, I would certainly support a team like Media Portal is.  Strange, I imagined that rotor support is very frequent for SAT users, just as DiSEqC switches for multi-LNB setups. But you are right, there are not too many users with this requests. Most of those probably use a Linux based STB, since it is basically a plug&play    I understand your point here completely. In case of older versions: I assume that there is no explanation needed why would anybody not understand that older versions are not supported.In case of new version, I would also say, that since 1.4.0 is quite stable, with this version one can use the HTPC until the release of the new TV Server. I would also like to have support for each new version, but I also understand that it is lot of work. So, having a stable good working release until the new TV Server is out I think is a completely acceptable scenario for everybody, at least for few of us how would very much need rotor support.    Thank you so much for this! I agree for sure<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  I will buy the card, and since I'm still moving houses, the dish and the rotor will be set up later. I will contact you when everything is mounted and ready and we will see what can we do<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Of course, I will give you full remote access to my HTPC, just tell me what kind of access would you prefer. It is possible all this will happen late August, but we will speak until then. This sounds very good, you are really THE BEST!Of course, I will not ask you, and clearly ask others as well, for creating this patch for RC or beta versions or other new releases. But when new TV server will be available, you will add support to that, correct? You can also use my HTPC for testing in case if you will work on the new tv engine, but will discuss this later on. This is the least I can offer to support your work, my HTPC hardware is at your disposal<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  Once again: THANKS!</blockquote>
