If the dish isn't moving this might be part of it.. There should be a DiSEqC
message somewhere in the logs.. I will hook my dish up tonight and see if I can
get it to move, and see if there is something missing.. I had it working OK when
I sent the patch to Isaac, but its possible it got messed up in the manual merge
Isaac had to do..

Sounds like something is messed up with the DiSEqC code..

Yes :)

I don't know.. It looks OK to me..
