Nice, long missed feature!

But sorry, i got only 

Signal Strength: 0dBm, SNR: 0dB.

ioctl returns status "noerror"(0) and sets the value to 0
There must be a problem on deeper levels?

(DVB-S 1.5 and 2.1, 2.1 primary, both running on the same channel.)






Maybe the (Syslog-)feature should be made selectable
and should contain the channel too?

Are there any infos for "error rate" too?

Maybe the place on top of the "OK" is too valuable for such a
"technical" informations?
