According to the DISEQC spec you're supposed to do the following for max. 
compatability:
    ioctl(fd, FE_SET_TONE, SEC_TONE_OFF);
    ioctl(fd, FE_SET_VOLTAGE, voltage);
    usleep(15000);
    ioctl(fd, FE_DISEQC_SEND_MASTER_CMD, &dCmd);
    usleep(15000);
    ioctl(fd, FE_DISEQC_SEND_BURST, miniCmd);
    usleep(15000);
    ioctl(fd, FE_SET_TONE, tone);
    usleep(15000);
