Tvheadend

Try removing Saorsat from Position#1 (AA) for EACH tuner and add it to Position#2 (AB) for EACH tuner instead. Also don't forget to enable all the AB positions and save.

Thanks for that tip.
Done but I don't think it is switching to the second sat input on the multi-switch. How do you tell TVH and/or satip-axe to use diseqc commands?

What does your tuner config look like in TVH?

I've got a multi-lnb (3 lnbs) setup with the following config that works great

Port 1 - 28.2
Port 2 - empty
Port 3 - 19.2
Port 4 - 13.0

Hey, thanks for the reply.

Nop my setup looks like this;

I don't use different sats on the inputs of the SAT>IP unit itself but via a multiswitch. So by default it would just have 28.8e and 9e when you called on the second diesqc input if you connected a multiswitch directly to a STB.

I guess you're not using a regular 4x1 diseqc switch?

Which multiswitch is it?

Thanks for your help btw!

Right not a basic diseqc but a multi switch. It is a EMP-Centauri 9X12. 4 inputs from a 28.8e LNB and 4 from 9e (only 1 of those is really in use)..it also has a DVBT input I don't connect via the SAT>IP box directly but via a USB tuner on the TVH server

Basically, I need to tell either the SAT>IP/SATIP-AXE unit that it can send out a diseqc command for the second input on any of the SAT>IP boxes inputs, to receive the Soarsat signals. It does work fine with other normal STBs

Have you tried?
#1 AA 28.2
#2 AB 9

Hey folks,
I'm struggling to configure something that should be easy from what I can tell from my searches. Hopefully someone can give me a few pointers

I have a SAT>IP box connected to a multi-switch (all 4 inputs).

The multi-switch has two sat dish inputs, controllable via diesqc;
- one which is from an quad LNB pointed to Astra 28.8e.
- one connected to another dish pointed towards Eutelsat 9e with a KA Band LNB for the local Irish unencrypted stations (Saorsat)

It works great with other STBs so it isn't a multi-switch issue.

I can get TVH to scan/tune 28.8e easily, but I can't for the life of me get it to detect (from what I can see) the second sat. Maybe I'm not sending the correct diesqc controls etc.

Do I configure minisatip in the SAT>IP box (running satip-axe) to know about the second sat OR is this done via TVH?

I had the same problem. With minisatip there is a problem with the speed of the commands sent to the Diseqc switch. For satip-axe, this solution worked:

vi /etc/sysconfig/config
MINISATIP7="yes" 
MINISATIP7_OPTS="--diseqc *:*2-1"
