I want to connect a single LNB pointed to Astra2 and another LNB connected to Astra1 each to a different DVB-S card in the same VDR. Is this possible?

After browsing the wiki I found the entry for the CA to point to DVB-S card number. This should work. But what about having two DVB-S cards connected to a multiswitch for Astra1 and a single DVB-S card connected to the LNB for Astra2

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Look for the SourceCaps patch. There are patch packages which contain it on VDR portal.

Regards.

Do you (or anyone else) know, if the SourceCaps patch is contained in the Multipatch version on e-tobi Debian repository?

Again, replying to myself. From reading the source package the source caps patch seems to be enabled.

I have changed setup.conf to reflect my configuration, i.e.

SourceCaps = 1 S28.2E SourceCaps = 2 S19.2E SourceCaps = 3 S19.2E

However, changing to any channel on the 28.2E satellite does not work:

Mar 21 18:06:31 vdr vdr: [17973] connect from 127.0.0.1, port 52439 - accepted Mar 21 18:06:31 vdr vdr: [17973] switching to channel 13 Mar 21 18:06:31 vdr vdr: [18437] transfer thread ended (pid=17973, tid=18437) Mar 21 18:06:31 vdr vdr: [18439] TS buffer on device 1 thread ended (pid=17973, tid=18439) Mar 21 18:06:31 vdr vdr: [18438] buffer stats: 0 (0%) used Mar 21 18:06:31 vdr vdr: [18438] receiver on device 1 thread ended (pid=17973, tid=18438) Mar 21 18:06:31 vdr vdr: [17973] buffer stats: 0 (0%) used Mar 21 18:06:31 vdr vdr: [20131] transfer thread started (pid=17973, tid=20131) Mar 21 18:06:31 vdr vdr: [20132] receiver on device 1 thread started (pid=17973, tid=20132) Mar 21 18:06:31 vdr vdr: [20133] TS buffer on device 1 thread started (pid=17973, tid=20133) Mar 21 18:06:31 vdr vdr: [17991] ERROR: no DiSEqC parameters found for channel 13 Mar 21 18:06:31 vdr vdr: [17973] closing SVDRP connection

This is the channels.conf entry:

vdr:/var/lib/vdr# grep Fashion channels.conf Fashion TV:11222:h:S28.2E:27500:2339:2340:0:0:52007:0:0:0

What do I do wrong?

Any and help is greatly appreciated.

Hello Reinhard,

Mar 21 18:06:31 vdr vdr: [17991] ERROR: no DiSEqC parameters found for channel 13

You are missing some lines in diseqc.conf. Just copy the 4 lines for S19.2E and replace S19.2E by S28.2E.

Thank you very much. It is working just great!
