The tuner scans the first LNB (Level1AA) only and ignores the other satellite positions."The problem is some years old. The Nova-S PCI as well as the TT-budget S-1500 are affected. A few years ago [USER=27204]@Dadeo[/USER] wrote about the problem here: <a href="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/16_Support/Troubleshooting/Diseqc" target="_blank">http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/16_Support/Troubleshooting/Diseqc</a>His card was a TT-budget S-1500 and the solution was to run the card in pseudo DVB-T Mode, which is very complex to configure. But that was the only solution to run DiSEqC with these cards until now. Now I found out, that the problem is caused by the existence of the KNCBDACRTL.dll file. By renaming this file and restarting Windows afterwards, DiSEqC runs perfectly. All LNBs can be scanned/tuned without problems.The Nova-S was manufactured by Technotrend. Hauppauge mentions that on their hompage. Have a look at the "legacy products" here: <a href="http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/support/index.html#" target="_blank">http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/support/index.html#</a>The hardware id of the Nova-S is PCI\VEN_1131&DEV_7146&SUBSYS_100313c2. This ID can be found in the INF files of the latest Hauppauge WDM driver 2.18c (Manufacturer: Technotrend), the latest Technotrend TT-budget S-1500 WDM driver 2.19h, the Technotrend TT-budget S-1500 BDA driver 4.4.10.18 (latest version of 4.x.x.x) as well as of the latest Technotrend TT-budget S-1500 BDA driver 5.0.1.8I guess, if there would be incompatible revisions/versions of the Nova-S PCI, these would be different in the subsystem id, so that the hardware id wouldn't match to the INF file and the BDA driver cannot be installed at all, as long as the INF file is not modified itself. And modifiying the INF file, I do not recommend. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite27" alt=":whistle:" title="Whistling    :whistle:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":whistle:" />Installing the compatible Technotrend BDA driver does not damage the Nova-S PCI.That is not totally correct. The cards themselves are different, but they are both compatible with the Technotrend TT-budget S-1500 BDA driver.I have attached log files. Perhaps you can compare them to find out what is going on with the KNCBDACRTL.dll:...KNCBDACTRL_off.zip: DLL switched off by renaming => DiSEqC works...KNCBDACTRL_on.zip: DLL switched on with default name => DiSEqC is not working</blockquote>
