Imagine that the dish moved but the counter didn't work, or simply there's some slack accumulated, so the actual position and the registered position differ. Without this method you should store each of the already stored position, with a Recalc method, positioning to one know good satellite would be enough, since the relatives positions would still be good. Actually, the description is wrong, as the effect would be You, positioner, now are at this position, so it would be something like Set as your current position the position specified by Number (or longitude if you prefer) So maybe it should be better called SetCurrentPosition The specs on the 0x6F command are a little vague. What do you suggest should be sent to a DiSEqC rotor? Something like 6F nn 00 00 where 'nn' is the number of the satellite position the dish currently actually points to?

The question I have now is: will it be enough to have *one* single positioner in any given setup, or are there actually users who have more than one positioner? (...) Klaus Currently I have 4 tuners, each of them is connected to several satellite positions via Diseqc 10/1 switches (i have quad LNBs and one LNB on a motorized dish). The configuration is defined in diseqc.conf, and believe me, it wasn't easy to set it up :) Will the rotor implementation change the syntax of diseqc.conf and if yes, will the new syntax be backward compatible with the current one? The syntax of the diseqc.conf will of course remain compatible, so that existing setups will work unchanged. There will just be one additional control character (presumably 'P' for Position). If it is followed by a number, as in S19.2E 11700 V 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F0] W15 P1 S19.2E 9 V 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F1] W15 P1 S19.2E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F2] W15 P1 S19.2E 9 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F3] W15 P1 then GotoPosition() will be called with that number. If there is no number, GotoAngle() will be called with the satellite's longitude. I'm also thinking of allowing something in the form of * 11700 V 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F0] W15 P * 9 V 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F1] W15 P * 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F2] W15 P * 9 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F3] W15 P (note the '*' instead of, e.g., 'S19.2E'), which could be a shortcut for a (USALS) positioner that could receive any satellite (as long as it's above the horizon).

I have no idea about DiSEqC rotors, sorry, I just drive a couple of relays and count the pulses myself (well, actually my device driver/plugin) but it seems such a basic functionality to me that I'd be surprised if it isn't there.

Klaus Hi Klaus, please could it be possible to have functionality of diseqc.conf which allows simple combining of fixed LNB's and motorized dish, so the will it be possible to have in diseqc.conf standard entries like S19.2E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F0] W15 A W15 t S19.2E 9 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F1] W15 A W15 T S19.2E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F2] W15 A W15 t S19.2E 9 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F3] W15 A W15 T followed with the new syntax one * 11700 V 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 FC] W15 P * 9 V 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 FD] W15 P * 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 FE] W15 P * 9 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 FF] W15 P and the standard entries will be prioritized? This will allow to use fixed LNB's as preferable ones in combined diseqc installation. Of course with chance of source choosing (if more than one tuner is used). My second wish is to have possibility to use the new syntax on all tuners available, so only gotoxx command will be send to the/all tuner, to allow simple cooperation with intelligent vtuner devices like NessieDVB.

Re: [vdr] Which epg for Sky UK
Hi! Is anyone using this patch with Sky Italia? It doesn't work for me. Also with Sky UK, I have full epg for many channels, but missing for some.
