OK, a quick look shows mumudvb:
- does not use S2API
- sends only FE_DISEQC_SEND_MASTER_CMD 
- sends it twice with 15 msec gap between.

One of those must be the reason.

1) could you please check with szap-s2, if it's able to tune to problematic
transponders on every attempt and if the PIDs are correct (i.e. we need to
verify S2API).

2) could you please try what I suggested before, i.e. use patch2 from
Christophe and increase all msleep() waits to 100000 (slow switch might
need larger gaps or repeated transmission).


   Thanks & kind regards,
