I also have problems with 4 quad LNBs on a diseqc switch (1.0 and another 2.0) If I plug out the cable from the card and plug it back again (reset switch and LNBs) I can use szap to change the channels. I believe the quad LNBs have diseqc switch inside and at reset they are in backward compatible mode (Tone/Voltage). In Diseqc specifications/recommendations they recommend the diseqc LNB should ignore responding to Tone/Voltage commands when they receive one diseqc command. Unfortunately, I did not find the proper diseqc commands for the LNBs.
I will try today a workaround to reset the LNB before sending the diseqc.conf sequence in backward compatible mode:
- switch to another LNB (hope the power will be cut for the one I need for
the channel)
- do the sequence for current channel
t v [E0 10 38 FF] W500 (switch to LNB4 and wait 500) [E0 10 38 F0] W100 A W15 t (switch to LNB1, wait for power to stabilize, use back compatible)
If I am lucky enough the switch will cut the power for the LNB1 when I switch to LNB4.
Does anybody knows the Diseqc commands for Quad LNBs??
Very stangely, under kaffeine here all runs perfectly ??? Did you also try to use your quiete similar setup under kaffeine ?
I have tried an hudge number of setup, including diseqc reset, resent of messages...
Maybe there is only two VDR user with quad lnb in the world using diseqc ?
