[vdr] Re: Rotor plugin

["Sameer Khosla" <sameerkhosla@rogers.com>]

Yes, I just thought of that about an hour ago and starting digging through
the code and made those changes, just before I saw this email now.  I also
hardcoded a frequency value that was common to the 5 birds I am trying to
track.  I should have mentioned earlier that I am using a circular lnb.

The signal meters now display proper signal information.   I am able to
track in on the two closest satellites right now, and an working on the
fringe ones.  

A couple of questions.

The 4 boxes under the two signal bars - what do they represent?

The gotoXX.X function, which I believe is implemented, so if I choose 61.5W
on the rotor screen, it attempts to turn the rotor 61.5 degrees to the west,
even though I have configured longitude as 79 in the rotor config.  From my
location orbital position 61.5W is actually East of me, not west.

rotor.AdressByte = 49
rotor.DVB-Karte = 0
rotor.EastWest = 0
rotor.Latitude = 43
rotor.Longitude = 79
rotor.SouthNorth = 0
rotor.Wiederholen = 0

I just realized that your lof = 11250. The plugin uses other values. In
the next version I will add an entry in the setup menu for selecting
other values.
But this patch should work for you:
