Cinergy S2 PCI HD CI + Motorized System

[leletto]

Hi,

 

I own a Cinergy S2 PCI HD CI attached to a motorized system and I have some problem and suggestions. It's attached to a DiseqC to superjack II box ( http://www.mondotec.it/product.asp?ProdID=2161 ) that can control my dish just pretty well using a humax 5400.

 

DVBViewer works pretty well too ( the only DVB software that worked, in fact! ) but there are some annoying bugs, and sometimes I need to reboot the system because it didn't accept more diseqc command.. ( argh! I know! My english is poooooor, I'm sorry )

It seems to happen when I send two or three commands too quickly from one to other, maybe adding a delay from two commands can help?

Another little bug: with the Superjack in stanby mode, if I change satellite, the box wake up and move by only one step instead of doing all the movements. So I have to select another channel in another satellite and then back to the one I want to watch.

 

Can this thinks been corrected or they are Terratec driver behaviors?

 

Suggestion: can you add some quality/signal bars for help finding the right position of the satellite? Or a button that automatically scans the nearest point for a better quality signal? Right now is relly hard to find the best position of the dish.

 

Anyway, your work for DVBViewer is really impressive. Thank you very much!

No idea?

Hello, I have the same card and use the latest 1.01.01.901 driver from Terratec. The card can drive a motor without problems but with earlier drivers I had the same problem as you did and had to reboot every now and then to get the motor to respond. Have you tried controlling the motor without your Superjack?

I had updated the drivers to the latest beta but with no luck. I can't use the motor without the Superjack, it's a Jaegger motor and can only be drived through the Superjack.

 

I can tell you that with the latest beta drivers it's a bit better.

 

I still miss a Quality Signal bar for better positioning.

 

Thank you anyway.
