[linux-dvb] Is Satscan positioner control possible?

[Seppo Ingalsuo <seppo.ingalsuo@iki.fi>]

Hi,

I'm a very happy user of vdr and I would like to add satellite tuner to 
my DVB-T box (or perhaps to a server box and use the streaming plugin). 
I have a set top box which is using Satscan protocol based dish 
positioner (not DiSEqC 1.2). I would like to reuse the dish and the 
positioner. Does someone know if it is (im)possible to turn this thing 
with Linux-DVB (with driver modifications)? Is the low level DiSEqC 
protocol implemented in the kernel modules or is it deeper in the firmware?

I'm also interested how Budget DVB-S PCI cards compare in practise with 
reception quality compared to dedicated set top boxes. In Finland 
practically all free to air content requires quite large dish so good 
reception is critical.

If I need to get a new positioner I'm interested in good DVB-S PCI card 
recommendations which are able to drive DiSEQqC 1.2 positioners with ~ 
1m dish.

Thanks for any information!

BR,
Seppo
