I must admit, I didn't think of such a scenario. So for now, I think your diseqc.conf is correct. Your switch seems to use the DiSEqC message to select one of three LNBs while voltage and tone tell the LNB which of the 4 bands it shall pass on to the cable. To just prove my understanding: Your VDR is able to switch to all three satelites, but from time to time you get those tuning timeouts. Reloading the drivers fixes this issue and VDR can then switch to all three satellites again. >> Hhm, these settings only help in determining high/low band and the >> frequency to tune to.
