Comment (by mythtv@…):

 Some remarks from initial testing (not happy, happy... )
 Apparently - i could not yet reproduce to do other bugs in mythtv-setup -
 it is easy to delete all diseqc setup you did, without intending it. And
 testing setup takes a lot of patience, see later in my remarks

 steps taken:

 1. delete all capture cards on the backend
 2. create new card (using adapter0) and define diseqc with 3 LNB (at the
 moment only first 2 in use)
 3. go to connections, create connection to astra1, and tuning works
 4. create  new card (using adapter0 again), touch diseqc setup -> all
 diseqc setup is lost.
 This should create a warning, and not simply delete all, which is very
 confusing and furthermore results in inconsistent database
 5. i re-did without touching diseqc setup for second card creation ->
 first LNB can still tune
 6. go to connection setup and create connection to source astra2. ->
 tuning does not work, and on xterm lots of complaints about missing diseqc
 setup.
 7. create new card, using adapter2. -> mythtv-setup hangs. I can see in
 the database the card has been created, but trying to enter the diseqc
 setup menu results in no response and no further reaction on input

 Other important points:

 a/ mythtv-setup is in cardinput very, very, very... slow on reaction. It
 is exteremely easy to do wrong things because it can take half a minute or
 longer for mythtv-setup to react on a key-press. This is especially true
 for card selection and entering of diseqc menu. I've waited several times
 for minutes on diseqc entry, and concluded mythtv-setup hangs at that
 point. No feedback, just no reaction anymore. Nothing on console output
 but that it cannot find diseqc tree for the card (yes, logical, as it was
 just created.... )

 b/ It is apparently searching for a VBox. It finds that in a Virtual
 Machine (W7) i have running. What is this, what is it purpose, can it be
 hanging on attempted communication with this VBox?

 This currrent state is a blocker for upgrade, as it is not possible with
 the available info to make a diseqc setup working.

 Sorry if this sounds a bit sarcastic at times. Testing this is at the
 moment rather frustrating due to the very slow reaction/hangs of mythtv-
 setup.
