So here is what I'm getting with the new patch.

#1 server:
- TT-1500 DVB-S card is now behaving properly. DiSEqC commands seem to 
be acknowledged and I can tune to all 3 satellites connected to the 
switch I have on this test platform.

- KNC1 DVB-S2 card seems to not be able to honor the DiSEqC commands. I 
can tune to the default position but not to the other inputs.

#2 server:
- TT-1500 DVB-S card is now behaving properly as in server #1

#3 server:
- TT-3200 DVB-S2 card seems to not be able to honor the DiSEqC commands. 
I can tune to the default position but not to the other inputs.

So all in all this is a great step forward for DVB-S cards. For the 
DVB-S2 ones there seems to still be some issues with the DiSEqC commands.
