One wish more ;^)

the usage of FE_SELFTEST, FE_GET_POWER_STATE and FE_SET_POWER_STATE (together
with FE_POWER_SUSPEND/FE_POWER_STANDBY/FE_POWER_OFF whereas suspend, standby
are mapped to off AFAIK) during replay and all states which require no
LNB running ... simply to save some power and get less heat.
