Media center currently only supports diseqc1.1 (max four LNB setup) when setting up live tv to use DVB-S.

With $15 dollar programs like DVB viewer and free ones like media portal having support for motorized sat dish I think it is becoming a bit hard to accept that this functionality is too good to be available in media center.

Does anybody know about any available plugin or add-on program that can allow the use of motorized satellite dish in media center?

It's kind of disappointing to have to use other programs for live tv while all you need is in the media center.

Thanks.

Thanks,

The green button link above has more or less the same question unanswered.

The last posting in the thread

" i am interested in any findings you guys come up with, here is one of the few places peeps with motorised setups can chat about this stuff , i have a feeling we are in the minority lol"

I've been using DVBviewer with my motorized dish long before win7 was released, it just seems abnormal that such a powerful media center will lack this really minor functionality that can be found in freeware programs.
