You're not saying anything about input types and the switch type. Are you sure that are properly connected ? How the switch inputs are marked and from where you got the input signals ? Please elaborate, if you want a proper answer. I suggest to play with 'scandvb' from dvb-apps package instead of Kaffeine. Look into scanning results if the scanned channels match with what you wished to have on those positions. Hi, What do you mean with input type? Anyway, this is my config: Visiosat Bisat G3C for 19.2/28.2/23.5 + Triax 54cm for Hotbird 4 quad LNBs Spaun SAR 411F: A = Astra 19.2 B = Astra 28.2/Eurobird1 C = Astra 23.5 D = Hotbird Maximum 4/1: A = Astra 19.2 B = Astra 28.2/Eurobird1 C = Astra 23.5 D = Hotbird All works fine on a standalone so it is connected correctly. ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb Hi, Ok, If I understood you correctly, you're talking about only plain DiSEqC switch, with no polarity/tone management. Polarity and tone switching are done by LNB's. Recently, I found a branded switch, which was unable to decode a DiSEqC commands while polarity was on horizontal (18V). Maybe is the same situation, maybe not. That's why I asked you to check the polarity/tone settings of the channels while switching to a different channel on a different satellite. ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

[linux-dvb] DiSEqC switch blinded by KNC tuner [was: KNC1 TV Star DVB-S tuning problem]
Hello, I changed my Gigaswitch 11/20 multiswitch with other model and instantly my card got working. First I thought that is a DiSEqC error, so I had to check with other switch model. And, surprisingly, it start to work. So, I reverted back and tried to figure out what's happen. After several tests, I concluded that it works fine with any vertical channels, low/hi switch and even sat switch. So I figured out that the horizontal requests cause the troubles. I measured the output on tuner and I'm getting 13.5V for vertical and 19.2V for horizontal. I changed in the stv0299 code and I'm lowering the power to 13V during DiSEqC command.With this hack, I'm successfully tune on horizontal channels, too. But this is a hack and doesn't sound right. According to specs, the voltage switch should occur before DiSEqC commands. The older KNC type card uses stv0299 too and it behaves better with my switch. And also gets 19V on output. Finally, it seems that the KNC TV Star card blinds my switch. Any ideea how to fix this without hacking the stv0299 driver ? Thanks in advance, Doru.

Or more concrete: Am I able to use the DVD-Playback on a DVB-C card using Matjaz Thalers Player? If not, what is the reason? If you'll use a Technotrend DVB-C card, yes. It is similar with DVB-S version, except the tunner part, of course. So, you can use it to decode DVD's or MPEG2 files. I tried and it worked. The Siemens DVB-C version it's different, but it is supported by this driver, so it should be able to do that. Thanks a lot...
