He has a Dish Pro LNB. The switching is done via the two LO settings. He wants V high always for propper operration of the LNB. They like the voltage to be at 18-19v

Try increasing the delay a tad. change the W15's to W20 and the first W20's to W25's. The W20's at the end I don't think are needed.

Hi guys,

I'm running VDR 1.4.0 on my CaptiveWorks CW-3000HD FTA receiver.

My current diseqc.conf is:

# DiseqC Configuration

# Port 0 Galaxy 11 & Nimiq 1,3 S91.0W 99999 V 11250 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F2] W20 [E0 10 38 F2] W20 S91.0W 99999 H 14350 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F2] W20 [E0 10 38 F2] W20 S91.0W 99999 R 11250 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F2] W20 [E0 10 38 F2] W20 S91.0W 99999 L 14350 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F2] W20 [E0 10 38 F2] W20

I dont see how switching the polarisation is done - as toneburst, voltage

and

diseqc commands are all the same for each polarisation. Also a repeated command should start with "E1" because "E0" would be for

the

next (cascaded) switch which is most probably not what was intended... You could also repeat the commands twice, which is the default. A correct diseqc block with 2 repeats should look like this:

S19.2E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F0] W15 [E1 10 38 F0] W15 [E1 10

38

F0] W15 t S19.2E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F1] W15 [E1 10 38 F1] W15 [E1 10

38

F1] W15 T S19.2E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F2] W15 [E1 10 38 F2] W15 [E1 10

38

F2] W15 t S19.2E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F3] W15 [E1 10 38 F3] W15 [E1 10

38

F3] W15 T

is it possible to disable this feature , because sometimes it's useless. For example, if I with rotor-plugin will try to move manually the dish to east or west , this patch automatically will come back the dish to reference rotational position, because LOCK was disappeared.

Igor

This patch was already integrated into VDR 1.3.x with some small modifications, so VDR 1.4.0 works like that: when "optimized" tuning to a channel doesn't get a lock within 9 seconds, a "non optimized" tuning operation is repeated every 9 seconds until a lock succeeds.

"optimized tuning" means: when you switch from one channel to another channel on the same polarization, there is no need to send the DiSEqC commands. Only the tuner needs to tune to a different frequency.

So "non optimized tuning" means, that the DiSEqC commands are sent although there is no need to. This fixed tuning issues where the DiSEqC message got distorted on the way to the multiswitch/LNB with the result that VDR never successfully tuned in such a case.
