Hello,
I am wondering on why the Sirius 4.8° satellite is noted as
"S5E Sirius 4" in sources.conf
and "S5.0E" is used in diseqc.conf and channels.conf...
Regards, Artem

Well, I guess the source from which this information was taken initially was wrong (or has this sat been repositioned?).
If we change this now, all existing diseqc.conf and channels.conf files would have to be changed accordingly. I wouldn't have a problem with that, since I don't receive that sat position ;-)

As far as I can remember the sat was not repositioned.
I also have no problems with changing the files :)
I am just wondering on why this sat is noted without the ".0" in the sources.conf.
This should be changed to S5.0E or S4.8E. We could stick with S5.0, since this is used in some sources.
Lyngsat is using 5.0E in the name of the HTML file, but 4.8E is used in the text :

There are plenty of sat positions that have no trailing ".0" in sources.conf. This is optional, "S5E" is exactly the same as "S5.0E".
If you like this to be changed, just provide a patch.
Aha, so they're making the same mistake ;-)

Those who use scan-s2 application from: http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/scan-s2 ** You can override the orbital position received from satelite by specifying: -O pos Orbital position override 'S4W', 'S19.2E' - good for VDR output
I've added that parameter after I saw some channels found with invalid positions (I'm not talking about 5.0 or 4.8, but totally invalid). This ofcause is not acceptable for those who use diseqc.
