nor really ...best choice are older versions of progdvb and card as twinhan device (because its a twinhan clone)

seems the 4.56.2 works better the other make a crash.
i have a dual feed parabola pointing hotbird and astra.
after setting that in Diseqc 1 or 2, i try to make a search for channel but no one was found.
there is some spacial setting to do for that?
sorry, but i'm a newbie

good morning i did some new try. i post just to let you know.
i dis installed the techisat program and driver and then i reinstalled only the driver i download from the web site. this morning i try to install the 4.56.2 and i see at the bottom L:36%. then i looked for transponder and i set one for hotbird. i scanned for channels.
now i'm looking some channel but the image is stopping half second every 10 seconds ... and seems take alot of resurces of the computer. there is any chances to make working better ?
how can i find the correct setting for dual feed installation hotbird and Astra, i mean frequency and all the other stuffs to set in progdvb? i looked at some site linked here but is not so easy to understand where i can download it.
thank you

It seems like this depends on the bad reception (L:36%.)

In DiSEqC- / LNB settngs, you have to add a switch, that uses the same method your hardware really needs.
Add two LNBs, set them the same way your hardware is working. If the Astra LNB is on the first input of the switch, it's the first one in ProgDVB as well. But on Monoblock systems, normally Hotbird comes first.
Transponder files come with every full install version of ProgDVB, they just may be a little outdated, sometimes. So, one or two transponders may be missing or wrong, but they are good enough for getting started anyway.
Names are 0192.ini for Astra and 0130.ini for Hotbird.

Close ProgDVB.
Copy the new INI files to the 'transponders' folder, let overwrite the old ones.
Restart ProgDVB.
If properly coordinated with the LNB entries in the DiSEqC-/LNB-settings, things simply must work.
