Yes I could scan DVB-S and DVB-S2 (both QPSK and 8PSK) in one command with the 
HVR4000. The satellite delivery system descriptor parsing is used to set DVB-S/-S2 and
QPSK/8PSK and FEC. I used the s2-liplianin drivers (only because I am also testing a
stb0899 vp1041 card at the moment). It should also work with the v4l-dvb drivers but
I didn't try yet.

Also there is some network information on 19.2E which points to 23.5E so the rotor is moved
during the scan to 23.5E and then back to 19.2E depending on the transponder. :).
