Diseqc 4 ports support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,
I wish to know if the 4-port diseqc is supported ?
i have installed vTunerd in mips device (cpu Broadcom BMIPS4350 BogoMIPS 
299Mhz, openwrt using eGlibc).
when i try scanning channels from vTunuerc x86_64 using scan-s2 i get log like:

please note, scan-s2/w_scan work fine if i scan the channels on MIPS host(where 
vtunerd is installed).

and also VDR work too on the host mips with same diseqc configuration:

(with vTunerc) And lately I noticed that when I scan the channels using w_scan 
of 13.0E, I get a few channels of 4.8E !!

w_scan -f s -D 2c -T 1 -R 0 -O 0 -E 0 -s S13E0 -o 7

Sorry, I correct a mistake
with "w_scan -f s -D 2c -T 1 -R 0 -O 0 -E 0 -s S13E0 -o 7"
i get few channels from S13E0 (not from 4.8E) with incorrect parameter ?
over vtunerc i get this:
Zone Reality;TP:11319:vC34M2O0S0:S13E:27500:519:719=pol:0:500:15919:318:600:0

without vtunerc using direct dvbs driver:

is not diseqc problem, because S2 channels work.

Try to add more wait time - also before DiSEqC bytes, like:

S19.2E  11700 V  9750  t v W15 [E0 10 38 F0] W15 t
S19.2E  99999 V 10600  t v W15 [E0 10 38 F1] W15 T
S19.2E  11700 H  9750  t V W15 [E0 10 38 F2] W15 t
S19.2E  99999 H 10600  t V W15 [E0 10 38 F3] W15 T

or 

S19.2E  11700 V  9750  t v W30 [E0 10 38 F0] W30 t
S19.2E  99999 V 10600  t v W30 [E0 10 38 F1] W30 T

same problem, only S2 channels are working. all others... no signal
I think the problem is not coming from diseqc, because if I zap "S2 channels" 
on another satellite , it works.

Thanks.

Could you provide more info about your server hw? There seems to be problems in 
signaling 

-info: FE_SET_FRONTEND parameters: freq:1097000 inversion:38 SR:23000000 FEC:15

the FEC value 15 and inversion of 38 are not correct.

IS NOT "server hw" problem. tested today with i686 and same problem. (only S2 
channels work)
and NOT vTuner fault, because is work fine with another DVB device (pinnacle 
PCTV 400e dvb-ttusb2).
"TBS QBOXS2 DVBS2 USB2.0" hardware not work with vTuner.

You can close this issue.

Strange. I can't understand why it works for some and nope for other.
Seems really like the device has something not fully DVB API compliant.

OK, closing
