Basically, because Hartmut and Andrew did not commit it... ;-)
The DiSEqC patch was committed by Mauro.

AFAICS the latest patch was posted in message
http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-January/015251.html

After reading all messages in this thread it is not clear to me
whether the patch improves things or not.

http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-January/015360.html
indicates a problem with some transponders.

Unfortunately I neither have the datasheets nor the hardware to play
with. I can't tell whether it makes sense or not.

Furthermore the patch might also break an USB device which uses the
same tuner (dvb-usb driver - Pinnacle 400e DVB-S)...
We need more testing!

@all TDA10086/TDA826x users:
----------------------------
Please test the patch posted in
http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-January/015251.html
and report success or problems.

Zigzag scan is enabled for all DVB-S cards.

Does it only happen if you switch from _vertical_ to _horizontal_
polarisation, or is it not related to polarisation switching?
