Thanks, I'll have a look. Actually theres something a little like that in the 
latest CVS:

Zigzag is still enabled by default, but:

When a DISEQC command is sent, the zigzag code goes into a special "DISEQC" 
mode.This basically disables zigzag until the next FE_SET_FRONTEND command... 

This was done specifically for people like you with motorized dishes... can 
you have a look and see if its what you need?
