DVB-S Help

Hi,
I'm trying to setup GBPVR 1.3.7 with a SkyStar 2 PCI (DVB-S) using BDA drivers. I have a Dish500 (legacy LNB) pointed at 119/110 connected diseqc (119=A, 110=B). I'm using MDAPI 2.5, and Emunation 4.0.0.0. There are a few problems I'm having:

1) I am only able to scan 119. Is this because of the BDA drivers? I did a search on the forum, and found old threads stating SkyStar2 BDA drivers don't work with diseqc, is this still true with GBPVR 1.3.7? if so, which drivers do need to use to be able to get both 119 and 110 through the diseqc?

2) I had the impression that with GBPVR 1.3.7 NA Dish EPG work, i know older version of GBPVR didn't do it. Yet I'm still not getting any EPG for 119. I can watch channels and get picture/sound. I've updated epg-override.ini with:
[2410.ini]
0=1
1=12472,H,20000,56
and config.xml with:
<DvbEpgHarvestDuration>600</DvbEpgHarvestDuration>
yet, i don't get any EPG. Am i doing something wrong? something misconfigured?

Thank you in advance for any help/direction.

Unfortunately there is no diseqc support for SkyStar2. Each manufacturer does it a different way and GB-PVR only supports those schemes implemented by Hauppauge, Twinhan and Firedtv. I dont have a Skystar2 device.

There were changes on this front in the last release, but it sounded like it worked well for BEV but not for Dish. I'm not sure why yet - I had to leave the country on a work trip and havnt been able to look into it again yet.
