I don't have a diseqc setup, I have a twin lnb and both dvb cards are connected directly. It worked in the past, ok many timeouts, but after reloading the driver and restart of vdr it worked. I was amazed that vdr can not tune to a channel and szap can do it without reloading the driver ! Maybe they use differnt methods to switch the channels. -- Gru?
