Indeed, that's the problem. For STB0899 frontend, the function
stb0899_send_diseqc_msg() in kernel is completely broken :-(
It should wait for diseqc tx_idle *before* and *after* sending diseqc
command, exactly as e.g. stv0299_send_diseqc_msg() does.

Thomas, could you please try the latest patch from Christophe, but change
*all* msleep waits to 100000 (100 msec), or even 200000 (200 msec)?

   With kind regards,

        M.
