I have a Wavefrontier 55 with four heads. I cover 1W, S5E, S13E and S19.2E.

Scanning the channels with the scan tool worked well. I used the scan -s switch 0-3 to cover all heads. (scan included in the Debian dvb-utils package)

I collected 2717 channels or something from all 4 heads cating the results into VDR channels.conf

I now try to configure the diseqc.conf in VDR.

I found an example in an old mail from the maillist. http://linvdr.org/mailinglists/vdr/2003/03/msg00620.html

With these settings I can get the channels from the 1W head, but when I pick a channel from S5E I get No signal.

Do anyone have a similar setup and can give me a hint how to configure my diseqc.conf ? or can it be another problem ?

Hrrmhmph, I bet your 4x1 switch behaves like mine. Those other guys use F0..F4 command byte to address the ports, but my diseqc switch uses these:

#22 Position A #23 Option A #26 Position B #27 Option B # port 1 option a position a # port 2 option a position b # port 3 option b position a # port 4 option b position b

So in your setup I assume that you have ports and LNBs like this:

1 - S1.0W 2 - S5.0E 3 - S13.0E 4 - S19.2E

This diseqc.conf should do the trick:

# port 1 S1.0W 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 t S1.0W 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 T S1.0W 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 t S1.0W 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 T

# port 2 S5.0E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 t S5.0E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 T S5.0E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 t S5.0E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 T

# port 3 S13.0E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 t S13.0E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 T S13.0E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 t S13.0E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 T

# port 4 S19.2E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 t S19.2E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 T S19.2E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 t S19.2E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 T

If the order of ports is different, just edit that.

My own setup is a bit more elaborate, as follows:

# --------------------- # | 4-port switch |-- to receiver # --------------------- # 1 2 3 4 # | | | | # 19.2E 13.0E 28.2E A/B # LNB LNB LNB | | # 5.0E 1.0W # LNB LNB

The difference is that a have another A/B mini switch in port 4 of the 4x1 switch. My diseqc.conf is here:

Not that difficult, is it? Just read the diseqc pdf spec. :)
