Ok, I have a geniatech DigiStar PCI DVB-S card (same thing as the digiwave 103g, which GB-PVR has listed in devices) and am running into some problems, wondering if anyone could give me a little help or some ideas I've missed.
Here's my setup
DishPro Quad LNB (twin LNB to look at 2 satellites at the same time, 4 outputs, built in diseqc switch)
straight cable run from LNB output to DVB card. no additional switches, splitters, etc.
I am looking at 2 satellites. Now, with my old Hauppauge Nexus-S and MyTheatre or ProgDVB, it worked fine, diseqc port 1 was satellite 1, and diseqc port 2 was satellite 2.
I go into GBPVR and setup my device, add in a capture source for satellite 1 using my dvb card on Diseqc A
I then add a capture source for Satellite 2 using my dvb card with diseqc set to B
When I go to scan channels, I get the same channels on both satellites. This tells me that I have a diseqc problem and it's not switching the built in diseqc switch between ports. I went through the BDA.ini and saw that some cards had a line that read BDA_SUPPORTS_DISEQC= with a 4 or a 3 listed for the value. I tried adding this line to the digiwave 103g section and setting it to 4 and to 3 and also even to 2, and the same thing occurs. I know that diseqc is not covered in the BDA spec and has to be implemented separately, so is diseqc implemented for this card? Has anyone else gotten this to work, and if so, how did you do it? Is there any info I can provide or post (logs or diags) that would help to get it implemented or find a fix?
I appreciate any help anyone can provide on this. From my initial looking, GBPVR looks like a great prog, I just need to get the initial stuff ironed out
