 Hello,
 
 I am wondering on why the Sirius 4.8° satellite is noted as
 
 S5E Sirius 4 in sources.conf
 
 and S5.0E is used in diseqc.conf and channels.conf...

Well, I guess the source from which this information was taken
initially was wrong (or has this sat been repositioned?).

If we change this now, all existing diseqc.conf and channels.conf
files would have to be changed accordingly. I wouldn't have a problem
with that, since I don't receive that sat position ;-)

 As far as I can remember the sat was not repositioned.

 files would have to be changed accordingly. I wouldn't have a problem

 I also have no problems with changing the files :)
 
 I am just wondering on why this sat is noted without the .0 in the
 sources.conf.

There are plenty of sat positions that have no trailing .0 in sources.conf.
This is optional, S5E is exactly the same as S5.0E.

If you like this to be changed, just provide a patch.

 This should be changed to S5.0E or S4.8E. We could stick with S5.0,
 since this is used in some sources.
 
 Lyngsat is using 5.0E in the name of the HTML file, but 4.8E is used in
 the text :
 
 http://www.lyngsat.com/5east.html

Aha, so they're making the same mistake ;-)

Those who use scan-s2 application from:
http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/scan-s2
**
You can override the orbital position received from satelite by specifying:
-O pos Orbital position override 'S4W', 'S19.2E' - good for VDR output

I've added that parameter after I saw some channels found with invalid
positions (I'm not talking about 5.0 or 4.8, but totally invalid).
This ofcause is not acceptable for those who use diseqc.
