Anyway -- the important thing to remember, is that if your `scan' works as I expect and your kernel modules work properly and you have a 2/1 DiSEqC switch, that scan -s option... 0 -- will tune to position 1/2; 1 -- will tune to position 2/2; 2 -- will cycle back and tune position 1/2; 3 -- will again tune position 2/2 4 -- should spit a warning, I think (something does) In other words -- if your system worked properly, `-s 1' would give you 19E2 and `-s 2' would give you 28E; the opposite of your switch labels. > I don't why but it looks like it doesn't know how to switch to "switch 2" If I understand from your original post (re-reading it; as soon as people start posting distribution or system details my eyes sort of glaze over, while other people will get an `aha!' moment that shall remain elusive to me)... An older kernel version + modules worked; an update of those modules broke DiSEqC; your original kernel and modules didn't support your card. What I would suggest -- keeping in mind that the dvb kernel modules, which you should see with `lsmod', are where you should find correct support, are probably in some package unknown to me which you'd need to downgrade -- would be to either revert, if possible, whatever contains those modules, or jump ahead several kernel versions. If you feel comfortable compiling and installing a newer kernel (which is now around the 2.6.28 area), you could do that. Alternatively, and possibly better, would be to upgrade only the linux-dvb kernel modules, building them against your 2.6.24-era kernel source, which you may need to download and install. It's simple to download and build the latest linux-dvb modules even against a 2.6.24 kernel, and that should make things work -- if not, then something's been broken for a while, and some expert should be able to help you. barryb ouwsma _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
