Hi,

My setup is similar to your's (all cards connected to a single multi switch) except that I lack the third LNB for 28.2E.
I don't know if that exactly similar :
Astra 19.2E Hotbird 13.0E Astra 28.2E quad lnb quad lnb quad lnb 4 cables 4 cables 4 cables \\ |||| //// \\ |||| //// \\ |||| //// \\ vnc G3 G3 //// diseqc 1.0 3 output / | \ / | \ / | \ / | \ dvb1 dvb2 dvb3
Well, concerning the cables, my setup just misses the right 4 ones for the 28.2E LNB.
Do you really have QUAD LNBs? I have QUATTRO LNBs.
The difference is, that a QUATTRO LNB supplies the 4 bands (Horizontal Low, Vertical Low, Horizontal High and Vertical High) on specific ports on its own, while a QUAD LNB needs voltage and tone signalling on each port to decide which band it supplies to that port.
Would you mind providing some links to documentation about your LNB and switch models?
I think, your diseqc.conf should look like that:
# Optimized for full DiSEqC:
S19.2E 11700 V 9750 [E0 10 38 F0] S19.2E 99999 V 10600 [E0 10 38 F1] S19.2E 11700 H 9750 [E0 10 38 F2] S19.2E 99999 H 10600 [E0 10 38 F3]
S13.0E 11700 V 9750 [E0 10 38 F4] S13.0E 99999 V 10600 [E0 10 38 F5] S13.0E 11700 H 9750 [E0 10 38 F6] S13.0E 99999 H 10600 [E0 10 38 F7]
S28.2E 11700 V 9750 [E0 10 38 F8] S28.2E 99999 V 10600 [E0 10 38 F9] S28.2E 11700 H 9750 [E0 10 38 FA] S28.2E 99999 H 10600 [E0 10 38 FB]
I have tried it, and it don't work at my place ??? Well, I can tune to some channels : Vertical loband on Astra 19.2E Vertical loband on Hotbird 13.0E, Vertical ones on Astra 28.2E.
Maybe it has to do with the QUAD - QUATTRO issue, but let me first have a look into your documentation.
Thank for your answer, I would like to convert the setup from kaffeine into vdr's diseqc.conf : DVB0=S|Astra-19.2E|Hotbird-13.0E|Astra-28.2E DVB0_LNB0_hi=10600 DVB0_LNB0_lo=9750 DVB0_LNB0_switch=11700 DVB0_LNB1_hi=10600 DVB0_LNB1_lo=9750 DVB0_LNB1_switch=11700 DVB0_LNB2_hi=10600 DVB0_LNB2_lo=9750 DVB0_LNB2_switch=11700 DVB0_LNB3_hi=10600 DVB0_LNB3_lo=9750 DVB0_LNB3_switch=11700
Which is the same for DVB1 and DVB2.
I would really enjoy if someone could explain me how to use the same settings as kaffeine use :-)
Hhm, these settings only help in determining high/low band and the frequency to tune to. I first need to take a look into the code how kaffeine and xine-lib pass the information about the port to use to the DVB driver.
Bye.
