Again, IMHO, this seems fairly complex. Why should vdr consult plugins about this stuff?
e.g. because plain vdr doesn't know anything about a positioner (or other weird things: vdr is good because it's flexible and you can do almost everything you want with it).
I would have thought that vdr should be able to tell when a signal is valid etc.
Perhaps just having a time value indicating how long the signal had been locked would be enough. Then things like channel update etc. could just wait until there was (eg) 5 seconds of valid signal before it did anything.
That may be good for eit(?) scanning, not for attaching receivers: why wait 5 seconds when the dish is already positioned and you have a good signal? Since I'm using a dxr3 (i.e. transfer mode i.e. a receiver) I wouldn't like to wait 5 seconds after each channel change.
