With these settings  S5E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 B W15 T

it doesnt switch LNBs at all. I can still watch ASTRA but i still get the
error message "channel not sync'ed on dvb card 1"
when changing to sirius.
Mayby this helps, with windows programs the switch would only work when I
set LNB 1 to Position A/option A and LNB 2 to Position B/Option A

Thanks again for your help, in the mean time I got my remote up and running
:-)
