This is optional, "S5E" is exactly the same as "S5.0E".
If you like this to be changed, just provide a patch.
Aha, so they're making the same mistake ;-)

Those who use scan-s2 application from:
You can override the orbital position received from satelite by specifying:
-O pos Orbital position override 'S4W', 'S19.2E' - good for VDR output
I've added that parameter after I saw some channels found with invalid positions (I'm not talking about 5.0 or 4.8, but totally invalid).
This ofcause is not acceptable for those who use diseqc.
