  Yes it did work (months ago before I setup diseqc and second lnb).

  Cable is about 5-6m from card to diseqc switch, and than 0.5m to lnbs.
VDR/dvb cards tunes just fine to test channel you sent me (without
picture, but I get epg and no 'channel XX not sync'ed on DVB card!'
message).

  Diseqc switch is diseqc 2.0 'compliant' if it means something to you.
Do you think it might be diseqc switch problem? Are there any solutions
aparat from changing diseqc? Which one should I look for?

  I have one more question. In case signal is bad should I get same
message?
