Experiences of Windows 7 Media Center and multi-satellite reception?

c128

I'm wondering whether anyone has any practical experience of using the new DVB-S support within Windows 7 Media Center with multiple satellites?

I've been using W7 MC for 28.* reception for some time now (admittedly, not with heavy use) and it seems pretty good. That's accepting the current pixellation problems with ATI cards and BBC HD, of course _http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/t/73544.aspx

However...I'm now thinking of toying with multi-satellite reception, and so am planning on feeding my twin tuner DVB-S card _http://shop.blackgold.tv/epages/BT3159.sf/AU_en/?ObjectPath=/Shops/BT3159/Products/BGT3540....now discontinued) with 28.*E on one tuner and, on the other tuner, 28.*E, 19E and 16E switchable via diseqc.

The setup under W7 MC for diseqc looks pretty straightforward, and I've found a good guide _http://thegreenbutton.com/blogs/rathe_media_center_blog/archive/2009/05/01/355919.aspx, but I wondered whether anyone was up to this sort of thing now with W7 MC, and how there were getting on?

Doesn't work for me with motorised set up. Simply won't change channel. Setup does not allow the assignment of disecq preset numbers referring to different satellites. Only 1-4 for switched setups.
