I guess all diseqc switches in US are broken, I think it's most likely is a
feature ..:)

Again, I'm not very familiar with diseqc sequences and if protocol v1 can do
it, I think it should solve the problem. It sounds impossible to control
each individual diseqc switch when all switches are listening. It still will
require separate diseqc config files for each DVB card though, correct?
