Well, I've just had a further look into the tuning code of VDR. With
DiSEqC disabled, VDR simply executes the commands FE_SET_VOLTAGE,
FE_SET_TONE and FE_SET_FRONTEND without any extra delay between these
ioctl() calls.

I'd like you to do some further tests by modifying diseqc.conf:

A) let's remove FE_DISEQC_SEND_MASTER_CMD and FE_DISEQC_SEND_BURST

S19.2E  11700 V  9750  t v W15 W15 W15 t
S19.2E  99999 V 10600  t v W15 W15 W15 T
S19.2E  11700 H  9750  t V W15 W15 W15 t
S19.2E  99999 H 10600  t V W15 W15 W15 T

B) let's reduce the time to wait

S19.2E  11700 V  9750  t v W15 t
S19.2E  99999 V 10600  t v W15 T
S19.2E  11700 H  9750  t V W15 t
S19.2E  99999 H 10600  t V W15 T

C) omit the time to wait

S19.2E  11700 V  9750  t v t
S19.2E  99999 V 10600  t v T
S19.2E  11700 H  9750  t V t
S19.2E  99999 H 10600  t V T

D) omit the initial FE_SET_TONE

S19.2E  11700 V  9750  v t
S19.2E  99999 V 10600  v T
S19.2E  11700 H  9750  V t
S19.2E  99999 H 10600  V T

Test D) is identical to disabling DiSEqC in VDR's setup menu.

I assume that either B) or C) will be the shortest sequence that still
works in your case.

Bye.
