Description:
With this plugin you can control a diseqc motor.

In the setup-menu of the plugin you have to select the Card which is connected with the motor. For the GotoX-function you have to set the right values for latitude and longitude in tenth of a degree (i.e 116 for 11.6 degrees). 
In the plugin-menu you see the signalstrength of the currently tuned channel. You can drive you motor east/west continously or stepwise (if you want to go more steps east/west, just press the according number). You can select the position for the Goto/Store command either by selecting the satellite or just by pressing the number. 
If you press OK on the button with the satellite then the motor drives to this position via GotoX-command. This only works when the right values for latitude and longitude are in the setup-menu. If your motor isn't adjusted correctly to "true south" you have to try a little bit different values for longitude.
You can tune to a transponder by typing in the frequency, polarization (pressing left or right) and symbolrate, followed by pressing OK on frequency or symbolrate. Now you can see the signalstrength of this transponder.

Scan Transponder (only vdr-1.3.x): If you press OK on Scan Transponder, vdr will switch to this transponder and will add new channels (witch the source which is displayed in the menu).
