I am using FlyDVB card from Lifeview. I have Diseqc switch but it sems it doesnt work with DVBDream. I think it is not problem of drivers from lifeview ,because i tried ProgDVB software (with BDA driver) too and Diseq switch is working there without problems.
Is it possible to implement support of diseqc for Lifeview in next versions of DVBdream? I think Lifeview is quite popular card (at least here in Europe ;)) I offer help with debugging of this issue too.

BDA DVB-S devices : It needs device specific codes for Diseqc an CI support since BDA specification doesnt support diseqc and CI. Some of device specific diseqc are implemented and some might be implemented in next versions. If you have any information on how to implement Diseqc support on your BDA device , please let me know. I will try to implement necessary code in DD.
