[linux-dvb] DiSEqC trouble with TT S-1500

[Doru Marin]

Hi,

Can you explain how you select those 4 positions ? DiSEqC commands or 
tone/voltage changes ?
Also can you determine the input type of those positions (Hi/Low, H/V, 
etc) ? A scenario to see when and why that happens, would be more useful.
