Hard Config: Genpix usb adapter rev2, Toroidal dish with 4 dual lnb's and the emp centauri multiswitch 9x8.(I have 8 rg6 cables between the switch and the lnb's).
After many try I was unable to scan all sat.
1. 119
2.110
3.91
4.82
Someone have any sugestion for a different setting in diseqc panel of dvbdream?
I already try a lot of settings (more than 8 hours...) but with no luck...depending of the settings, I have only 1 or 2 sat available.

Someone have a list for all the raw command ?

This system work with Mytheater.
Also my viewsat work.

emp centauri multi switch 9x4 & dvbdream solution

after a lot of messing around, here is what I configured to be able to use dvbDream and a emp centauri 9x4 switch

1. I am using LEGACY LNBs
2. The dip switches on the switch are all set to off
3. the coax from my genpix is plugged into the 1st receiver port (I think this is important)
4. i am using v1.4i dvbdream

on the switch, my config is:

82 -- LNB A & B
110 -- LNB C & D
91 -- LNB E & F
119 -- LNB G & H

on dvbdream, diseq settings:

diseqc switch type: v1.0 or 2.0

port 1:

nimq 82
lnb - na legacy
lof1 1125000
22 khz - controlled by lof-sw
uncommitted - disabled

echostar 8,10 - 110
lnb - other (trust me)
lof-1 1125000
lof-sw 11700000
lof-2 11250000
22 khz - controlled by lof-sw
uncommitted - disabled


port 2

nimq 91
lnb - na legacy
lof1 1125000
22 khz - controlled by lof-sw
uncommitted - disabled

echostar 7 - 119
lnb - other (trust me)
lof-1 1125000
lof-sw 11700000
lof-2 11250000
22 khz - controlled by lof-sw
uncommitted - disabled


Maybe there are some potential tweaks for the switch to work a bit faster -- but for me, this is working reasonably
