I'm using only this patch to your source so I do not have distortion of 
my picture.

Did some more testing today with the following results:

1. My total cable between computer, rotor and lnb was to long. I could 
see that my rotor signalled power low a lot and it was unstable with my 
other dvb card. I pulled about 2,5 meters out of my ~30 meter long cable 
and I had a stable power signal again all the way up to my lnb with a 
rotor in between.
2. The mantis driver with "changeset 4491: 276006546e29 
<http://thadathil.net:8000/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/mantis?cs=276006546e29>", 
and the above path, does support DiseqC 1.2 now. I can control my rotor 
without problems. So this is great news for me.
3. I have not tested this completely but I cannot get all the 
transponders on each satellite. I tested Astra 19.2 and 28.2 so far and 
not all the transponders can be tuned into. I will try to create a list 
of working and not working transponders and post the result to this 
list. Maybe my LNB is of because I have the same result within Windows. 
Hope this is not a problem of the card it self.


Regards,

Michel.
