Thanks CausticSoda. But I thought looping out will work only on the same polarity and attemp to switch to different polarity may damage the LNB or the receiver? Depends on the receiver. It would be best if DD has an LNB power off option, but it doesn't. Also, if you are using dishpro or other bands...

Sorry about that. Basically, if you have to use a BDA driver, then it probably isn't going to work if it hasn't already. There are some drivers for certain cards that will work with diseqc, but not the BDAs. I have the same problem with the Twinhan 1027. It works for everything except diseqc. A work...

F5, F6, F7 : these are to set the status of "22khz" and "polarity" at the output ports of the switch. ... No , it doesnt. Here is the quote from the Diseqc spec that deals with switch changing: ==== "9.1. Write Port Group In addition to the specific command bytes (‘2x’) which set or clear indiv...

According to the diseqc specs, you should be sending Diseqc codes: E0 10 38 and then F1, F2, F4 or F8 to activate committed switches 1 to 4. The 'F' is the first part of the nibble clears the old value and the second nibble gets logically OR'ed with that. I'm not sure what would happen if you sent F...

I deleted the old files and started again with the new epg. When not on WGN, it only populates two events. I have to go to WGN 239 to get the full 9 days. This part works. I am no longer getting blank entries. However, the channel list still constantly flips when there is a new event added. At first...

Here are a few crash reports. It looks like its crashing when the epg is trying to write the monster file.

ScanMan, Yes, you would probably have to change the file structure to do what I am talking about. Essentially, you would need to have a small header with 8192 entries (the max number of channels DD supports), then read just that part on startup. The small header would tell you exactly what events ar...

Scanman, Instead of holding up DD, I suggest you only allow it to process a certain number of calls per second (or 1/100th second), then ignore the rest for a while. You were right about the file size. It was about 30Mb. If you are writing/reading that at exit/startup, then that could be a problem. ...

It definitely continuously updates even when there are no channel additions. There is no reason for that. ScanMan, how are you writing that file at the end? Is it a flat file or some kind of database? Could you pop up a "Please wait, saving EPG" message during this time? Rel, that is the same eit th...

The Twinhan 1027 is not a good card. It does not work with diseqc on dvbdream. I have that card and was unable to get it to work. I used the BDA_ALL program and it doesn't help. The card has voltage supply problems. It can't power certain LNB's. You'll need a power injector for it. I use a viewsat i...

@CausticSoda 1. first time only flips around then stopped 2. I think its depend upon the provider sorry i have no clue :?: 3. here DVBDream stable 4. usual here there is no delay sorry... 5. there no stuttering or freeze... 6. and i don't have any duplicate channels in my list :arrow: regards, Gr I...

RE: 006 A few problems still exist: 1) The EPG channel list still continuously updates and flips around so it is very difficult to use. SUGGESTION: Don't update that that control at all. Add a REFRESH button somewhere. If somebody wants it updated, they can click that. Note that its not a problem wh...

Great job Scanman! If you are interested, I have a suggestion. When the current channel is DN239, it sends so much EPG info that it nearly locks up the computer. Is there any way to regulate the CPU cycles drawn by the EPG? Also, is there a way to stop updating the EPG display when the mouse is over...

I read on another site that DVB Dream was open source, but I can't find a download link anywhere. Is DD really open source?

The bug reporting feature does not work when attempting to send crash report to DD.org. My ISP blocks port 25 to all addresses except theirs. If the bug reporting feature uses port 25, then it should start using a second port as well, such as port 26 or port 80. Otherwise, they need an alternate met...
