Comment(by anonymous):

 Hello,

 I can confirm the issue with the multytenne dish.

 The problem is, I think, in the repeated DiSeqC command.
 The first command itself is correct.
 Mythtv debugging only logs the first command sent, not the repeats, so I
 can not confirm if the repeated commands are correct.

 The UI of Mythtv-setup requires to send at least 1 repeat.
 I don't think this is needed as per DiSeqC specifications.
 Repeats are only for cascading multiple switches.

 A fix would be to allow in mythtv-setup to specify "0" (zero) as a valid
 number of repeats.

 When changing the "cmd_repeat" column in the DiSeqC_tree table of the
 database manualy to "0", the multytenne dish works perfectly.
 This is more or less what the patch tried to do: not sending a repeated
 command.

 I didn't do any testing, but I think this is one or 2 things:
 - A timing issue where the repeated command is simply sent to quickly for
 the multytenne (The DiSeqC specification says "at least" 15ms between
 DiSeqC messages, mythtv does exactly 15ms.)
 - Or the repeated commands are wrong. (There is a lot of DiSeqC equipment
 that simply ignore repeated commands...)

 Would it be possible to change the user interface of mythtv-setup to make
 it possible to send 0 repeats?
