No, but the cx24116 contains some hacks to help when
applications do not indicate the burst mode bit
explicitly. Your LNB appears to depend on tone burst
and dvbstream is not supporting simple switches
by the look of it. There is another IOCTL for
toneburst. If you add that to the code it may work
as expected.

Alternatively, look at the `toneburst' setting
for the cx24116 and change it, however, the default
mode which should derive the toneburst from the message
appears not to be working in this case. Your setup
may just need repeated commands.

If you want to explore problems like this then
you need to enable debugging for the cx24116
and show what dvbstream in delivering directly
to the driver so we can see for sure what's
happening and that we make no false assumptions.

cya!
