Hello, I hope that someone can help me. Struggling with this for months now! I have a Skystar HD2 connected to a diseqc 1.2 compatible motorized H-H rotor and a Smart Titanium 2nd edition LNB. I use the latest S2API drivers (http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin) and latest sources from the mythtv svn. Whatever I do, the rotor will not move in mythtv. It stays on the same position, although Mythtv indicates that it is moving the rotor. Reinstalling mythtv, reinstalling the drivers, different OS(Ubuntu instead of Centos) etc, whatever I do. The thing wont move! Even when shutting down the mythbackend and running the scan-s2 with -r (move to another position) and a correct rotor.conf the position does NOT change. I have the extra power connector connected on the Skystar HD 2. The only way that DOES work is using the xdipo tool 0.7.3! This one moves the rotor! When turning on debug, this tool seems to send the diseqc command at least 5-10 times but somehow this works! Could it be a timing issue? The rotor is not the problem since I also have an older skystar 2 card and running it under Windows XP with (diseqc 1.2)patched XP drivers the rotor moves to every wanted position without any hesitation. What could be wrong here? Someone any ideas?
