Diseqc 1.2 software

shinobi

I've just got a hauppauge nexus-s dvb card and the software only supports diseqc 1.0. I've Got a diseqc 1.2 H-H motor and was wondering if anyone knows if there is any software that I could download or buy to remedy this problem.

All help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I use this one - can be quite resource intensive - you just need to double check if its compatible with your nexus as i can't remember off hand.


Otherwise, you could try mytheatre (google for mytheatre 2.76 - the last freeware version).

You can get a plugin for either of the above to allow you to steer your motor. I'm using the plugin for a skystar 2 card so you will have to google a bit to find the one relevant to your card.


Theres also a new one called altdvb ..i think its called - have no experience of it.

i use progdvb with the "dixie" plugin, by all accounts this works fine and it does seem to be compatible with my nexus card.

i do have a problem though- no matter which diseqc software i use the moter seems to have a mind of it's own, i might be watching something on hotbird for about half an hour and the motor just moves, sometimes it's easy to get it back and sometimes i have to go back to zero, very annoying.

this did not happen for the first couple of months but it is constant now,

anyone have any ideas?
