I've made some tests with my rev 1.3 / ves1893 card and most of
the time (not always) DiSEqC works right, but zig-zag locks on the
wrong transponder. (I always had occational DiSEqC problems with this
card, I always believed it is somehow broken.)

E.g. quite often when I tune from
SAT.1:12480:vC34:S19.2E:27500:1791:1792=deu;1795=deu:34:0:46:133:33:0
to
RTL,RTL Television:12187:hC34:S19.2E:27500:163:104=deu:105:0:12003:1:1089:0
I end up there
EURO1080:12721:h:S19.2E:22000:308:256:0:0:21100:0:0:0

(easily confirmed by running 'dvbscan -c -o vdr').

Maybe we should implement FE_GET_TUNE_SETTINGS for ves1x93?

(Sorry, I'm drowning in work so I can't do it now.)
