With a voltage meter.

That may be true, but still the DVB card must provide the correct
voltage to switch polarizations.

All the channels you have listed as not working are on
vertically polarized transponders. Vertical polarization
requires "low" LNB voltage (13 Volts). If your DVB card
provides a voltage that's too high in that case, the switch
won't deliver the vertical, but rather the horizontal signal.
