Hi,
it seems that my 9 years old LNBs got some drift over time, as
tuning takes quite a while until I get a lock. So I thought I
could compensate this offset by adjusting VDR's diseqc.conf.
Therefore I first hacked some logging into VDR's tuner code to
read and output the above mentioned property once it got a lock
after tuning. As VDR's EPG scanner travels over all transponders
when idle, I get offset values for all transponders and can then
try to find some average offset to put into diseqc.conf.
So here are several "travel" results for a single transponder
ordered by Delta:

I really wonder why Delta varies that much, and there are other
transponders in the same band which have no larger deltas then 3 MHz.
So is it at all possible to determine LNB drift in that way?
My other device, a STB0899, always reports the set frequency. So
it seems driver dependent whether it reports the actually locked
frequency found by the zig-zag-algorithm or just the set
frequency to tune to.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Bye.
