Thanks, I'll have a look. Actually theres something a little like that in the latest CVS: Zigzag is still enabled by default, but: When a DISEQC command is sent, the zigzag code goes into a special "DISEQC" mode.This basically disables zigzag until the next FE_SET_FRONTEND command... This was done specifically for people like you with motorized dishes... can you have a look and see if its what you need? -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
