SkyStar USB PLUS + diseq 1.0

Hello guys,

I got this model of Dvb card and 2 Satellite Dishes (one on Hotbird and one on Astra).The card works fine when I look on channels on Astra satellite.
The problem is when I try to change between the 2 channels that are on different satellites.
I configured under diseq section my DVB card to use a Diseq 1.0 switch, but wont work.The diseq has as LNB A input the signal that comes form ASTRA and on LNB B input the signal from HOTBIRD.
Under device list I choose BDA driver, but at the specification I found that this device don`t has support for diseq.For example I also use a Skystar USB ( the older model USB 1.1) but this card works fine (in the device list under the card specifications I can see Diseq support).So I think that the problem is not from my card (I also red the product manual and there it is wrote that this card can handle with Diseq switches).Do you have allready full support for this card?

In the future versions of Progdvb will you implement a specific driver for Skystar USB Plus, so in this way we may use Diseq 1.0 switches with this DVB card?

Many thanks.

This depends on additional knowledge on original proprietary driver controls, as BDA itself does not know DiSEqC at all.

Menas, it's up to the original manufacturer, to decide, if giving away necessary information, or not...
