... or tune to any other transponder which requires a new DiSEqC 
sequence to be sent. vdr minimizes transmission of DiSEqC sequences.

It seems that some DiSEqC switches have problems with some DVB-S cards.
This can be solved by adding re-transmissions to the DiSEqC commands. 
Try something like this in your diseqc.conf:

S19.2E  11700 V  9750  [E0 10 38 F0] W5 [E1 10 38 F0] W5 [E1 10 38 F0] W5 [E1 10 38 F0]
S19.2E  99999 V 10600  [E0 10 38 F1] W5 [E1 10 38 F1] W5 [E1 10 38 F1] W5 [E1 10 38 F1]
...
