They sure will, provided that you know how to command the switch, and your dvb-s card and its driver can do diseqc properly. I have a full-featured Hauppauge dvb-s and it works just fine. Enable diseqc in your vdr, and with diseqc.conf you can do pretty much anything you want. For example, I have five LNBs in two dishes, cabled together with one 4-port diseqc switch and one A/B switch like this: # --------------------- # | 4-port switch |-- to receiver # --------------------- # 1 2 3 4 # | | | | # 19.2E 13.0E 28.2E A/B # LNB LNB LNB | | # 5.0E 1.0W # LNB LNB With a diseqc bus spec pdf, I was able to craft up a suitable diseqc.conf for my LNB configuration. Drop me a note if you want a copy the the diseqc spec or my sample config. -sjm
