Yes, the diseqc support was tested only on KWorld DVBS-100. Someone
on this list said that it works for Hauppauge cards with
some changes in the driver, but I don't remember if a patch with the
changes was sent. Did you try connecting the LNB directly to the
card without a diseqc switch, to confirm that the problem is in
diseqc ?
