[vdr] LNB-sharing patch updated (was: Re: Patch: Multiple DVB-s cards sharing one LNB)

[Matthias Loetzke <Matthias@Loetzke.de>]

Hello!

I updated the LNB-sharing patch:
- removed a bug (see below)
- removed old limitations (see below)
- made the code cleaner in some parts
The patch for VDR 1.0.0p5 is available at:
http://rk.dyn.dhs.org/dvb/

Thanks to Rainer, for finding the bug and giving me the "hi band"/"lo band" 
clue.

Patch has not been tested with more than two cards. But it should work now.

Yes. Over 100 downloads of the patch from my server so far.

I found the bug, it should not happen with the new updated 1.0.0p5 patch.
