   n1cky: Is anyone aware of any living code that implements the diseqc spec fully?
   mchehab: <u>n1cky</u>: having a generic code that implements iseqc fully is hard, as some things depend on the antenna topology
   <br> also, most hardware don't support diseqc 2.0, so there are very little people using it
   <br> and even less programmers
   n1cky: <u>mchehab</u>: I'm looking for a project, If I worked on something would you consider including it into v4l-utils if the quality seems up to snuff?
   <br> do cards export their diseqc version ability in any way?
   mchehab: <u>n1cky</u>: sure
   <br> we do have diseqc support at libdvbv5, but we currently lack some complex scenarios and diseqc 2.0 there
   <br> (libdvbv5 is part of v4l-utils)
   n1cky: <u>mchehab</u>: I am not on the listserv currently; I'll get on that first and foremost.
   mchehab: we don't export the supported version directly, but boards with diseqc 2.0 implements the diseqc receive ioctl
   n1cky: I did see that libdvb5 had some diseqc stuff, but from my (brief) look, it didn't look like it had much in terms of specific commands and so on
   mchehab: it has what's needed for the usual setups
   n1cky: Well anyway, there is a nice spec and I'm sure I can work on doing something that's really fully complete
   mchehab: sure, but the big challenge is to be able to test it
   <br> in order to test, you'll need diseqc switches, multiple dishes, etc
   n1cky: That's not a concern; my brother has a bit of an FTA obsession and I'm in no shortage of equipment
   mchehab: one thing that we also miss is rotor control
   <br> ok, that's good!
   n1cky: <u>mchehab</u>: that's what makes me interested; our primary TV setup is a C/Ku 8" dish powered by rotor
   <br> 8" lol. 8'
   <br> I'm going to read through the spec a bit, read through the source, and I'll send an email with some plans before this weekend is out for input.
   mchehab: good!
   <br> ok
   n1cky: Cheers and thanks, have a good weekend.
   mchehab: have a nice weekend
