Hi there,
i'm new here :) i just discovered Dvb Dream a short while a ago.

First of all, it looks very promising, so thanks for your software !

I'm trying to get all my hardware working at the same time, but it looks quite difficult to achieve :?

I have 3 pci dvb tuner from Technisat (SkyStar2, CableStar2, AirStar2) in my computer. I have some trouble getting them working with DD (or any other software :D they dont work better actually :p)

For example, it seems i have to disable some of the cards to get one or the other working, i cant juste switch from one to another ..

Also, when selecting the Device in DvbDream, i can select 1,2,3 for the B2C2 Direct Driver, but i cant see from that window which device i am actually selecting (there's no caption or dvb-s/t/c information ..)

Yesterday, i was watching MTV and then suddenly i stopped having any dvb-s signal .. i cant get it back even now ..

So, as you can see, i have a few problems/questions :)
I'd be glad to help improve DvbDream by reporting some tests or so.

About my dvb-s, note that i have a positioner (H-H motor) and a diseqc switch buildin my double twin head (2 heads/2 output).

I also have a dreambox here, and i have no problem with it :) So my problems are software only.

So please, tell me, if Dvb Dream should work with multiple device ? at the same time ? (sth when i switch from dvb-s to dvb-c/t i get weird things like having sat info altough i have a dvb-c device activated ..)
Also, the diseqc config seems to be shared for all the devices (i need to delete/readd the TP each time when switching)
Should Dvb Dream work with diseqc switch without problem ? and with a positioner ? and both?

Thanks for your time,

Blop

Hi Blop,

it should work, try to instal DVB Dream to 3 different folders (S, T, C), also try the command line switches:

dreamstart.exe /device=2 (select the card, multi card configuration)

Create shortcuts for each card/folder - 1 / 2 / 3.
