I just found, downloaded and installed a small app, xdpio, that will issue DiSEqC positioning
commands, either by command or from a simple X gui. It requires Xforms to compile. This works quite
well, and I am able to get it to move the dish.
I have been using kaffeine as a dvb app, it however doesn't know how to do disk positioning
commands, it just is able to switch amoung up to 4 lnb's. It does have a channel scanning
capability, and I am getting some very good signal quality levels on some channels, 96-98%, with 99%
S/N. However, none of these channels will "lock", so I am still not able to view them.
I applied the latest patch from Yeasah Pell that he sent today, on top of kernel 2.6.17-rc1.
I KNOW I am very close to getting a watchable picture, excitement building, but I'm not quite there yet.
Finding channels.conf data for North American Satellites has been difficult, here is one I made by
hand for AMC3 using data from LyngSat. Some channels were listed without sr or fec data. Hope it
saves someone some time.

I am fairly certain it does with the patch he attached to the email you
responded to. Yeasah Pell stated:
The only other thing I would note is that in order to get my positioner
to accept disqec commands reliably I had to increase the delay between
the tone shutoff/voltage change and the diseqc command
...I would guess it works even better than he stated since he has patched it
further since this quote. Did you apply the patch? Did you on the debug
messages as he suggested? What are you seeing? The DiSEqC commands now
work flawlessly on my messy cascaded switches.
Good luck,
Todd

Subject: Re: More on the cx24123
I have a Stab Rotor Sat HH90 dish positioner that uses the DiSEqC 1.2
protcol. My receiver card is a Kworld DVB-S 100 with the cx24123
demodulator. Is it possible to send DiSEqC commands to position the dish
with V4l/DVB as it now stands? Or will support for DiSEqC dish positioning
be written soon? In checking the web, I have not found any references to
dish positioning with a cx24123, or any references to dish positioning in
the apps I have installed (mplayer, kaffeine, xawtv).
I am running Slackware 10.2 with Kernel 2.6.17-rc1 and Yeasah Pell's
latest cx24123.patch applied.
Thanks, Garnet
