This is what I understood as well. It's cheap switch and LNBs so that may explain it :) I don't know how I can measure the current being drained tho. I only found out that increasing the limit made my setup work. It may be as well that the isl6423 driver doesnt' set the limit correctly and configures a lower current limit than what is expected. > > > Is there another way to solve this ? > > Maybe add a module parameter for people who want to override the > > default ? > > > I think this could be done.

Probably an integer parameter with multiple possible values allowing to choose the limit or disable it and add a big fat warning along the way.
