Pinnacle Dual Sat Pro and Diseqc 4x1 1.0

Hello !
Using: Pinnacle Dual Sat Pro and have a wish that the BDA driver for this card can handle 4x1 Diseqc 1.0 Switch. For now it just works on LNB 1 and LNB2
From the suplier of switch (Emitor AB www.emitor.se) I've asked for help
and they (the developer)gave me following RAW comands:
LNB 1 => E0 10 38 C0
LNB 2 => E0 10 38 C4
LNB 3 => E0 10 38 C8
LNB 4 => E0 10 38 CC
Doesn't work.
F0,F4,F8 and FC works in end of above comand
but F8 gives you back to LNB1 and FC to LNB2
I've tested all sorts of combinations with this comands like:
LNB=Other 22kHz off/on Uncommitted=disabled
Is it possible to implement suport for Diseqc 4x1 in next version ?
I have ver. 1.3c now of DVBDream.

Regards
KOLO

Please contact Pinnacle and ask for information about DiseqC implementation in their BDA drivers.

You can have a look on this thread : http://www.dvbdream.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=608

Good luck :wink:

I've already done that and their driver supports Diseqc 4x1 1.0.
The prog.(PCTV 4.0)that comes witch Dual Sat Pro PCI works just fine on all 4 LNB:s. Tested yesterday. Even tested DVBDream with an other switch from Digitaly but with same result as descriebed earlier.
I think i will test a third switch tonight to see if that works.
Can I implement Pinnacles driver for the card into DVBDream ??

Conclution:
If PCTV 4.0 can handle 4x1 switch on Dual Sat Pro so must it be DVBDream or the driver it uses that causes the problem or.......?
