This works great apart from the lack of true DVB-S support so I decided to try mediaportal for the sat card. I still want to use MCE in meantime for the DVB-T as it's stable and the wife can use it :-) I have a 3 LNB setup with 4-port Diseqc switch Hotbrid 13 on A/A Astra 19 on B/A Astra 28 on A/B I installed Mediportal 1.0.0.0 RC1 (refresh version) with TV server and it all works great and I could switch the LNB's easily. The issue is that there is some conflict between MCE and Mediaportal TV server so I tried to use the non TV server version of Mediaportal (still 1.0.0.0) - This also has the advantage that it's a lot faster to load! However, this is where I encountered the problem: Essentially, despite configuring the Diseqc the same as with the TV server variant, mediaportal does not seem to be able to switch the diseqc switch. I have verified the LO, LH settings on the LNB (and they are the defaults in MediaPortal) but the LNB switch frequency is confusing me. I have tried the default, 0 and also 12750MHz but none seem to allow the Diseqc switch to swith LNB when scanning the sats and it's always sitting on LNB 1 (A/A). This is 100% repeatable. Unfortunately I can't post the diagnostics from Mediaportal as HTPC is being used at present. Hopefully it's just a case of getting the correct switch freq! Another thing I noticed with the non TV server verison is that channels are grouped according to provider when trying to add channels into a user created group.

Apart from that, Mediaportal has been good and if prooves to be stable I will migrate my DVB-T tuners into it and use it for everything. At the moment however, MCE is working 100% reliably for DVB-T which I don't want to break. Thanks guys. [/QUOTE]
