'v' means voltage low (13V) 'V' means voltage high (18V) So if there was no voltage before, 'v' will turn on the "low voltage". > There are some mandatory delays before and after sending > the DiSEqC sequence.

Why did he do that? Doesn't make any sense to me...?! Any chance we'll get that back - or do we have to live with the fact that Holger has "f*cked up" the DiSEqC handling?
