Hi,

The local guy over here mounted what he claimed is a fully standard 4/1 DiSEqC switch which works with every sat-receiver around. After some brief investigation, it appears this DiSEqC switch is using a non-standard? scheme, which is not supported by w_scan nor vdr. Correct me if I'm wrong.

To get the switch working with VDR I need an option to turn off the switch power. This is part of the sequence to program the switch.

I've attached patches for w_scan and VDR to work with the DiSEqC switch I've got. I don't have any documentation on the switch. All the programming was the result of two days of reverse engineering. And I did not open the switch either :-)

Good luck!

I hope the patches can be included into VDR and w_scan. Not sure if this is the right list to post the patches.
