Maybe some of this could be fixed by to rotor plugin, however the rotor plugin should not be needed in this setup (I just define things in diseqc.conf).
There are other problems, like the channel autoupdate picking data from the wrong satellite. I don't think you can solve that without a plugin. In fact Klaus promised to check the plugins in the tuning thread to see if a channel can be actually tuned to and it is ready to be tuned. If he manages do to it and at the same time doesn't block vdr responsiveness to the remote I think it would be the best solution.
I am not sure that I completely understand this paragraph.
IMHO a plugin should not be needed, just some way to make sure that 'transient' data does not get added. Maybe a minimum time between channel change and autoupdate? Again this could be configurable for changing source.
Changing source from C to T to S should not matter, but when changing from SXXX to SYYY it does.
However, Klaus kindly reminded us that his day has only 24 hours (bad, bad Klaus ;-), so you'll just have to be patient.

Klaus: do you have any thoughts on this subject. IMHO current vdr is broken for movable dishes.
(While it may work a bit for live tv on a ff card, recordings require a restart to work and transfer mode does not work either).
Sorry, at this time I don't have any thoughts on this, except for increasing the lock timeout.
