I have a similar sounding (especially the "no information" bit) diseqc
2.0 4x1 switch.  They are backwardly compatible with earlier diseqc
standards so work with DVB cards using full diseqc (ie hex codes [E0 10
38 F0] ) or mini diseqc ("A W15 A",  "A W15 B", "B W15 A" and "B W15 B"
or just A or B...)

I got mine to work by trial and error and although I'm now only using
two ports at the moment, did successfully test switching to all 4
through VDR.  I found info on diseqc commands in a pdf called "diseqc
for technicians", It's obviously based on the spec on eutelsats site but
has some examples too. Think of your 4x1 switch as three 2x1 switches
with one switching between the other two which in turn, each switch
between 2 dishes.

Here's my current diseqc config, I have a monobloc LNB cascaded on the
second port which is why I have the additional A and B to switch between
astra and hotbird.

I hope this helps...
