Yeah, it seemed to have changed from being set to VOLTAGE_13 in the initialisation tables to being set to VOLTAGE_OFF by default... somewhere between the 1.0.1 and the 1.1.0 release. Defaulting to VOLTAGE_OFF makes sense though; no point powering up the LNB until its actually needed. What do you think of Johannes' idea of it auto powering up on frontend open? -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
