Hi, 

i guess that you receive the "operation not supported" from the FE driver and not from 
andy DiSEqC Equipment you may use :)

As Andrew told you already the STV0229B Frontend isn't able to react on a DiSEqC reply.

It it the same reason like always - there is backwards compatiblity and manufacturing 
FE without
these or other capabilities is cheaper. So why should somebody implement DiSEqC 2.0 
functionallity into
the FE Hardware - if you also can use the Switches with the 1.0 commands.

Hi,

I just spent a couple hours writing a program to handle diseqc parsing.

I successfully sent the diseqc command (or I believe I did) and then set

struct dvb_diseqc_slave_reply rep;
memset(&rep, 0, sizeof(rep);
rep.timeout = 100;
ioctl(fd, FE_DISEQC_SLAVE_REPLY, &rep);

I got

operation not supported

that's right, isn't it? I've got the stv0299 demodulator like you say.

Huh? AFAIK, the STV0229B has no means to receive any DiSEqC responses, and
since that demodulator is used on most current cards, I'd say the hardware
does NOT support it.

Do you know of any DVB-S demodulator which supports bidirectional DiSEqC
commands, and that is already used on receiver cards for PCs?

The hardware and APIs should already support it - its a matter of coding it in 
userspace software, or using one of the apps which support it (VDR maybe?)

Grab the standard from eutelsat - it maps on the API pretty directly.
