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. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
