[linux-dvb] diseqc 2.0 on stb0899 / pctv452e (TT S2-3xxx and the likes)

[Martijn]

Hi All,

This has been addressed before, but I cannot find any specifics on the 
list or on the net in general regarding.

I'm trying to get a Spaun SAR 411F switch to work with a TT S2-3650. The 
SAR only talks diseqc 2.0 according to the specs and works perfectly on 
an Nexus-S setup. When I try to scan through the switch using the 
S2-3650 (old dvbscan or the new scan-s2 utility) nothing happens (tuning 
status == 0x00), whilst a direct connection /without the switch/ pose no 
problem at all.

When I go through the s2-liplianin dvb drivers I noticed the DiSEqC 2.0 
freq marker in the stb0899_priv.h header file. Also according to the 
STB0899 datasheet DiSEqC 2.0 is supported. Does this mean that the 
pctv452e driver does not implement the 2.0 specifications? I have seen 
the S2-3650 work through a DiSEqC 1.0 switch without any problems.

Could someone shed some light on this matter? Am I missing something 
here? Perhaps the pragmatic approach would be to change the switch 
albeit a fine one.

thank in advance,
regards,
Martijn

Does anyone have an idea as far as this matter? I'd like to use 2 or 3 S2-36xx
parts with a Quad monoblock LNB which in principle contains a DiSEqC switch.
Anything to watch out for? Am I looking for an LNB that talks DiSEqC 1.0?

Does anyone have an idea as far as this matter? I'd like to use 2 or 3 S2-36xx
parts with a Quad monoblock LNB (Lemon-Inverto) which in principle contains a
DiSEqC switch.

I tried an earlier HG pull from September but my LNB seems to receive only
Hotbird channels, and not all of them to begin with. No Astra channels so far.

I see no mentions of a newer DiSEqC code in pctv452e.c in the changelog - was
there any progress on this? 

TIA!
