I've read a lot of posts and here is the information I've compiled so far.
1) There are no WDM drivers for the 1027 that I can find. So the only option at this point is BDA
2) The general idea I'm getting so far is that you must use raw diseqc commands to switch and leave the switch set to none. However this doesn't seem to work with the included BDA driver. I would also like to confirm I'm using the correct hex commands for a 4 port diseqc (no other switches).
E0 10 38 F0 (port 1)
E0 10 38 F4 (port 2)
E0 10 38 F8 (port 3)
E0 10 38 FC (port 4)
I've also heard that if that doesn't work, replace the 10 with 11 (ex: E0 11 38 F0).
None of these raw diseqc commands seem to work.
3) I've tried the BDA_ALL driver provided by scanman and can start the driver, but it still doesn't seem to work.
4) Many people are saying that it's the fault of the Twinhan / Azurewave cards that they don't switch properly, but this simply isn't true. The cards may indeed supply less current that other cards and may be borderline, but the reality is that both the default "Digital TV" application that came with the cards, and MyTheatre are both more than capable of switching the diseqc switch without any problems. So if the problem was current, NO application would be able to switch the diseqc under any circumstances. I've heard the reason MyTheatre works properly is because Saar modified his BDA driver to work properly. So that tells me that the issue is with the BDA drivers that the rest of the programs (DVBDream, ProgDVB) are using (not with the current output of the card or anything else).
I want to stress this point. If it was a current output issue, then a different set of BDA drivers shouldn't make a difference... The card shouldn't be able to switch, PERIOD! And that simply isn't the case, there are 2 applications that can switch the diseqc just fine.
So.... What is being done differently in MyTheatre's BDA drivers, and what needs to be done to DVBDream's BDA drivers to correct the issue?
If anyone has a working setup with the 1027, please post what you've done.
The 2 big things I want to figure out here are:
A) Proper diseqc setup (including raw commands) for the 1027.
B) Identify the issues in the BDA driver and if there will be a fix for the 1027.
Thanks in advance everyone!
