Hi all,
My description of the solution is here:
http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-September/029361.html
I've also attaching the patches to this thread.
Several people reported better lock on DVB-S channels.
Just to clarify it, the changes mostly affect DVB-S channels scanning, it doesn't help with DVB-S2 locking problem since the code is totally different for S and S2 signal search.
I've increased a timer for S2 signal search and decreased the search step, this helps to lock on "good" S2 channels that were locked anyway with several attempts, but this time it locks from first attempt. The "bad" channels finds the signal, but the FEC is unable to lock.
Since searching of S2 channels is done in the card and not in the driver, its pretty hard to know what is going on there.
Can't say what happens with the lock on "good" channels since I don't have any S2 FTA in my sight.
If anyone has any progress with S2 lock, let me know, I'd like to join the forces.

I'll send the patches to the list as soon as I'll finish some more debugging and clean the code from all the garbage I've added there.
Meanwhile I'd also like to wait for few people responses who test those patches. So far one person with Twinhan 1041 card confirmed that the changes "improved a lot" the locking. Waiting for few more people with TT S2-3200 to confirm it.
