IIRC I added the retransmissions because switching was not 100% reliable (with driver 0.9.4 and vdr 1.0.4, long time ago). As I don't have a logic analyser, I was never able to track down the real problem. Anyway, Eutelsat recommends to repeat the sequence, and it increases reliability, so I never changed it... @Klaus: Please change the "Optimized for full DiSEqC" sequence in diseqc.conf of the vdr tar-ball, because some frontends do not turn on LNB power by default.
