I am still confused after reading FAQ that states TVServer does not support multiple LNBs with TWinhan. However reading other posts it appears some have this working?

I have:
-VP1020A with BDA drivers 1.2.3.8
-Diseqc (4x1 Spacelabs DS-41)
-MediaPortal-svn--01-04-2008--01-03 MP 0.2.3.0
tvengine3-01-04-2008--01-08h--Rev16867

I am able to run C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\SetupTv.exe
I have configured LNB Setup on only installed DVB-S card (VP1020A):
-Sat #1 - Level1AA ,NA Legacy, LNB1
-Sat #2 - Level1AB, NA Legacy , LNB2
A description of AA/AB/BA/BB would be nice. I can not find.
Also:
From SetupTV.exe "TV CHANNELS" and highlight a channel and right click the DiSEqC settings for LNB2 show up as Level1B/A instead of Level1 A/B!? as defined above.



-Check "Override default LNB frequencies" (this does not seem to matter)
-LNB Low (LOF1): 11250
-LNB High (LOF2): 11250
-LNB Switch (LNBSW): 0

I can successfully scan in all channels on both LNBs all in 1 "scan"
I can somewhat reliably change channels without issue on LNB1.
However I can not switch to channels on LNB2.
Attaching the TV Server tv.log it appears that Media Portal does not recieve response to:
[16]: subch:0 wait for pmt 20 (not sure what that means, I suspect that the switch to LNB2 did not actually occur)


Other applications such as dvbdream with non BDA drivers this works without issue.

Should I expect to be able to switch LNBs with Diseqc switch and media portal TV Server?
Any suggestions would be appreacated. :confused:


Regards,

Blahh.

I am still struggling with this. I am curious why a channel scan can connect to the correct LNB2 transponders succesfully. (looking through the logs during a scan it appears that Media Portal TV Server sends a port change for each Transponder.) why would a channel scan always be successful in changing to the second LNB but when trying to preview or change channel in Media Portal TV Client it is not successful?

Still hoping someone out there can assist, or point me in a direction..
Thanks

Blahh.
