Hi,
I've got a Technotrend S-1500 (if it matters: I use it with Kaffeine
0.8.3). It works mostly fine, but there's a strange problem. With my
Spaun 4/1 DiSEqC switch (they cost approx 25-40 euro), I can only switch
without trouble to position 1 and 2. If I tune directly to position 3 it
won't lock.
However, if I first tune to a channel on position 1 or 2 and try a
channel on position 3 after that, it will work. Position 4 however is
completely unreachable.
On a standalone receiver, there's no trouble with the same cable.
Now Spaun is a really expensive and respected brand. So their switches
possibly work in a different way, because a cheap Maximum 4/1 switch
works perfectly with the S-1500. Position 1, 2, 3 and 4 all work
perfectly. I also did some "dry testing" indoors and it looks like a 7
euro Satconn 4/1 switch would also work fine, but a 17 euro Axing SPU
41-02 probably won't.
I'm guessing this could be solved in stv0299.c but I'm not much of an
expert. I took a look at the code but I'm not really sure what to do.

Hi,
Can you explain how you select those 4 positions ? DiSEqC commands or
tone/voltage changes ?
Also can you determine the input type of those positions (Hi/Low, H/V,
etc) ? A scenario to see when and why that happens, would be more useful.

I select them with Kaffeine. Hi/low and H/V doesn't matter. I tried
upgrading to Kaffeine 0.8.5 but that doesn't make a difference. The
"scan" application has the same issues.

Nobody any ideas? If not, does anybody have some idea what the
difference between position 1+2, pos 3 and pos 4 could be? I was
thinking 1 and 2 might be working because of toneburst, but I don't
think Kaffeine uses such a signal and that doesn't explain why pos 3
works if first tuning to 1 or 2 and 4 doesn't work at all.

I've figured out a bit more. If I tune directly to postion 3, I get pos
1. Whenever I tune to pos 4, I get pos 2.
I'll also ask people from Kaffeine as I'm not sure if the problem is in
the application, driver or somewhere else.

Hi,
Strange scenario. You're not saying anything about input types and the
switch type. Are you sure that are properly connected ? How the switch
inputs are marked and from where you got the input signals ? Please
elaborate, if you want a proper answer.
I suggest to play with 'scandvb' from dvb-apps package instead of
Kaffeine. Look into scanning results if the scanned channels match with
what you wished to have on those positions.

Hi,
What do you mean with input type?
Anyway, this is my config:
Visiosat Bisat G3C for 19.2/28.2/23.5 + Triax 54cm for Hotbird
4 quad LNBs
Spaun SAR 411F:
A = Astra 19.2
B = Astra 28.2/Eurobird1
C = Astra 23.5
D = Hotbird
Maximum 4/1:
A = Astra 19.2
B = Astra 28.2/Eurobird1
C = Astra 23.5
D = Hotbird
All works fine on a standalone so it is connected correctly.

Hi,
Ok, If I understood you correctly, you're talking about only plain
DiSEqC switch, with no polarity/tone management. Polarity and tone
switching are done by LNB's.
Recently, I found a branded switch, which was unable to decode a DiSEqC
commands while polarity was on horizontal (18V).
Maybe is the same situation, maybe not. That's why I asked you to check
the polarity/tone settings of the channels while switching to a
different channel on a different satellite.

That's right, no multiswitches or something like that. The last time I
checked (a while ago), the Spaun was still completely working on my
standalones. But as I figured out yesterday, something is wrong with
that now. The standalones don't see D (Hotbird) anymore either. So I'm
first going to fix that.
Trying to switch from Flaunt (V) to 4fun.tv (V) doesn't work either, so
it's not the same problem I guess.

Hello All,
Maybe I have the answer:
I also had problems with switches and LNBs which did not want to work properly.
Behind 1 receiver it worked properly, but behind another 2 different
DVB-S PCI cards, it just failed. I never suspected the LNB/Switch
setup, because it worked behind another receiver.
But, In the end it turned out that there was 1 LNB in my setup that
caused all the trouble, that LNB refused to cooperate with the
switches and other LNBs, when a DVB-S PCI card was used (both
Technisat Skystar 1CI, and TT-S1500). Once switched to this LNB, the
complete setup failed to work from that moment on. I could never
switch back to 1 of the previous LNBs, but the last (buggy) LNB still
worked if I switched back to it.
So, my advice is to start with 1 LNB behind a switch, once it works,
add another one, check if both LNBs still works, if so, add another
LNB and so on. Maybe you end up, just like me, with 1 LNB that
destroys the complete behavior.
So, my 3 TT-S1500s are properly working here now with MythTv and
DiseqC switches with 4 LNBs per card/switch. So, it _can_ work...
Good luck!
Kind Regards,
Remy

I've been on the roof. The cable from the Spaun switch to the Hotbird

Do note though, that Kaffeine 0.8.6 that sends diseqc commands twice is
required for the Spaun/Axing switches to work correctly.
