I think, this is becouse "Initial support for Mantis VP-1041" =0Anot usability yet.=0A
I use patch from Hans Werner for 1041, works better.

Hi,

I am using the latest mantis drivers from= Manu's =0A repository:
http://jusst.de/hg/mantis/
with my =0A A= zureware twinhan vp1041 based card.
Locking to DVB-S channels works fine= =0A almost all the time with the patched szap or patched mythtv.
Did n= ot try =0A DVB-S2 yet. But what I am having troubles now is the diseqc. I = have a switch =0A behind a diseqc 1.2 rotor (goto stored positions).
Th= e switching works fine =0A under Windoz. I have no problems also using it = with my other card in the same =0A box - Twinhan 102g.
Initially with t= he vp1041 card after a couple of diseqc =0A commands I would get stb0899_d= iseqc_fifo_empy timeout. It turned out that I =0A had to use some very lon= g pauses before sending a repeat command. If
for =0A the 102g standart= 15ms worked fine, for the vp1041 I had to use 1s! pause. =0A Then the rot= or will start
 moving very slowly with small steps  - =0A as = if it is does one step , stops and then continues to the desired =0A posit= ion.If one is patient enough the rotor gets to the desired position. I =0A = checked using voltmeter the voltages that come out of the card and they se= em =0A to be good. For sending the commands I used both mythtv and hacked = version of =0A Michel Verbraak's gotox program.
Has anyone experienced = something similar =0A with stb0899 frontend? Perhaps you can give me an id= ea what might be going =0A wrong?

Thanks,
Simeon
