Hi mm,

once again thanks for all your time and effort to provide this information. I hope you realise I am just trying to be pro-active and I am wanting to learn how this works so I can help in solving my own problem as I realise the S500 is deprecated and no-one else seems to be using it (with anything).

I actually do have a toy lcd oscilloscope and I am currently investigating what, if any, diseqc signals it is sending to my motor (it is sending something), and why the motor won't respond.

Yes I am impatient I guess, as it is a working card that picks up HD (and supposedly drives motors). I am not aware of any other card that can do that. and I am starting to hate ms media center with a passion. I once tried to get into mcml - probably the worst programming experience of my life, though I did manage to get an app working eventually.

I very much doubt we will get anything from Compro, so it looks like we are stuck for now, which I find incredibly frustrating, since we know it works!!! boo hoo cry cry.

If its bda compliant, and I guess that's a big assumption, I guess I need to develop some kind of test program that can interrogate the driver, using the bda protocols. Guess I've got some heavy duty research to do.

Still I was able to watch the sublime beauty of FC Barcelona in HD without stuttering last night.
