AFAIU the technisat-website, the disicon-lnb just transmit all 4 bands (low+high,h+v)
at a time over the cable, so for selecting one band you use different frequency-
ranges and therefore different LOF-bases. The only problem with dvb-s-cards might
be this LOFs ... I don't know if a dvbs supports tuning to any frequency ?
For a full-disicon-support in vdr you have to remind that there aren't any switching-
options (voltage, tone, diseqc) needed, just select the right LOF for tuning ....

best regards,
reiner
