[mythtv-users] Diseqc problem with SG2100 rotor and MythTV

I use gotox -d 19.2
That puts me at the scale on exactly 19.2 and that's what it's pointing
at.
Using the GotoX function in MythTV puts the rotor at 17.2 scale.
(Guessing the exact amount of degrees it's off here because the scale is
so small I just see it isn't on the right one ;-) )
