Prior to this patch http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-June/018741.html the Trio failed for 13 Volts and tone generation. Don't have the hardware, but would expect BBC 1 London to work and BBC 1 CI to fail. This patch disabled some lnpb21 boards, which have that one connected in such a way, that diseqc forwarding is disabled. They need it from the tda10086. This was fixed by Hartmut with suggestions from Patrick to make it a config option, if the tda10086 or the LNB chip in question is active. All saa7134 DVB-S drivers have this option as diseqc = 0 in the config currently and it should be right for the Trio too and the isl6421 should forward. For looking at Ubuntu stuff, they downport a lot of things, because always late with kernel releases, we need the exact sources to diff against. I still have only that single dish for initially helping Hartmut with the isl6405 devel, but no rotors and switches yet and might be not of much help.
