Diseqc settings

Hi,

I got an Ecoda 22khz switch. Now I have one cable coming for the HH motor (36" dish) and one coming from the DP dish with the big fat twin horn LNB. The 2 setups work independently and work with the below settings with the 22khz switch. I have been told by some that the Ecoda should go after the motor & I have been told by some that they do it all the time without problem. It has been working fine for several weeks so until it pops, it will stay that way.

Can you help me with the settings in DVB dream? I have the DP on LNB-b (0khz) side and the motorized dish on the LNBA (22khz) side. In Dvbdream I chose:

Diseqc v1.0 or 2.0

1: Port 1
Echo7

lnb type: NA Banstacked Dishpro Ku-Hi DBS
Lof1 11250000
Lofsw (Does not exist with above setting
Lof2 14350000
Raw Diseqc (Blank)

22khz (off)

Uncommitted Port switch 0


2: Port 2
Echo 8,9

lnb type: NA Banstacked Dishpro Ku-Hi DBS
Lof1 11250000
Lofsw (Does not exist with above setting
Lof2 14350000
Raw Diseqc (Blank)

22khz (off)

Uncommitted Port switch 0


3: Port 3

Telstar 5 (Standard linear Lnb on this one for now until I get it working and then I will ad the Diseqc switch and the Invacom)
lnb type: other
Lof1 10750000
Lofsw 0
Lof2 0
Raw Diseqc (Blank)

22khz (on)

Uncommitted Port switch 0

It works now but I discovered that because the DishPro has its own switch, it had to have the different sats on different ports. This part works fine now.

The part with Telstar 5....I want to put my Invacom QPH-031 in place of the standard linear LNB that is on the motorized dish. How do I add the Diseqc between the linear and circular parts of that lnb and tell Dvbdream how to operate the switch? Also could someone please explain the "UncommitedPort switch" option? I am obviously going to add more sats to the motorized dish but I wanted to keep it simple while I am playing.

So I will have a Skystar2 then a 22khz switch then a HH motor then a Diseqc switch and then the Invacom QPH-031.

Thanks so much,
