I have a myth box setup with a TechnoTrend premium DVB-S that are
supposed to communicate with 2 LNB:s on one dish trough a Diseqc switch
(1.0, 2-way). The satellites I'm trying to use are Thor and Sirius.
I have entered the transponders and I have also been able to scan the
satellite on LNB1 but I can not seem to be able to get myth so select
LNB2. When I try to scan the second satellite I get, NO LOCK.
If I switch the cables I get signal locked on LNB1 but still LNB2 seems
to be non-operating. I've read that there have been reports on this
listing that there may be some problems with LNB switching via Diseqc?!
Anyone that can shine some light upon this issue or give any direction
of where to search for answers...
Cheers!

Hi Johan,
What might be the reason is that in mythtv-setup, after you defined your card,
you have to define 2 video-sources. DVBS-1 and DVBS-2 of Thor and Sirius.
Then at Input-Connections you attach teh 'video-sources' to each channel.
This is what solved my problem. Sounded logical after having it done but
didn't sound obvious to me in the first place.

Hi again
Thx for replying Henk. I have already defined the video sources and
connected them to the corresponding LNB:s in the Input-Connection setup.
In my setup right now I've got Sirius on LNB1 and Thor on LNB2. I can
successfully scan the transponders I've added for the Sirius videosource
but I cannot get anything from LNB2, i.e. Thor? If i switch it all
around so that Thor is on LNB1 and Sirius is on LNB2 both in myth and on
my Diseqc i can scan the transponders of Thor and I get a signal locked.
I have also tried another Diseqc switch but the problem is still there.
