I'm currently running two of these cards in the same box with this patch. Actually, later on I've even set curlim = SEC_CURRENT_LIM_OFF because sometimes diseqc wasn't working fine and that seemed to solve the problem. I used to have skystar2 cards before and I did not run into those issues. Diseqc just worked fine. For reference each tt s2 is plugged to a diseqc switch with 4 output, each output connected to a quad lnb. Is there another way to solve this ? Maybe add a module parameter for people who want to override the default ? Regards, Guy
