DPP switches + genpix

Postby genpix » Tue Jun 10, 2008 1:45 pm

I recently discovered that DishPro Plus switches don't like (or understand) diseqc command sent on the 13V level.

This is specific to DP and DPP switches (plain committed and uncommitted switches don't care).

As a result (if you use a switch like DPP44, for instance), your very first tuning attempt after DVB Dream start may fail. You have to switch to another channel (preferably on other diseqc input) to get out of "black-screen loop".

There is a new version of DVB Dream interface for Genpix devices (ver.1.1.3) available on genpix-electronics web site. It forces very first diseqc command to be send on the 18V level. No more black screen on start up.

For those with 8PSK-to-USB2 adapter (both revisions):

please re-download the interface(someone found a bug which affects adapter only).
