Comment (by Dibblah):

 Okay, your comments prompted me to look a little deeper at this.

 What is supposed to happen each time round that loop is a sequence of
 commands is sent to any diseqc / tone / voltage device. This is the
 complete sequence of commands to switch to the required input- There
 appears to be no concept of "chaining" a switch.

 You are correct that havetuned should be set, but isn't. I'm still working
 on the second patch above, which really fixes the cause of the looping (If
 reset was set, or no changes needed to be made, havetuned never gets set).

 However, I still think that dropping out on a single failure is not a good
 idea, since an ioctl can fail on a dvb-s device, due to a command still
 sending, etc, causing the bus to be busy.
