Positioner, Diseqc, how to set up

Hello,

I have the following hardware :

Skystar2 card, using latest driver from technisat
Diseqc switch with 4 ports
Archsat 95 CM elliptical dish with 3 LNB's
Stab HH-100 + 100 CM dish + LNB

I want to set up DVBDream the following way :

Port 1 Astra1 19.2
Port 2 Astra2 28.8
Port 3 Hotbird 13
Port 4 Stab HH-100 in USALS mode

I already know that the positioner recieves diseqc commands through the switch.

Is this possible ? In the Diseqc menu I cannot add the positioner (like in progdvb), and when I connect the positioner directly to the card with no other hardware it doesn't react to any command in the positioner menu.

Hope somenone can point me in the right direction !

You must install Mibi's driver patch for SS2 and use b2c2_direct device in DD. (main menu->options->device)

DD doesnt support cascading diseqc and postioner.

but in practice, if you connect the positioner to port 1 on the diseqc switch, you should be able to use both.
