Problem with rotor and option : Refresh channel if lost sign

Hi,
This option is working well when signal and quality not null, but while changing position or on not transmitting transponder, ProgDVB is completly freezing and not responding.
Maybe the refresh period is too short, one sleeping time between refresh command is needed.
If I disable this option the USALS is badly working : the rotor move normally but the signal become present only if I change to another transponder on the same satellite

For scanner issues, that are quite similar, Prog implemented a hidden option for ProgDVB.ini, like
[Scaner]
AfterChangeTransponderDelay=****
**** equals milliseconds AFAIK.
Have set this to 3000 over here, to avoid some switching trouble.

But I don't know it that also effects the retune routine. Try and find out...

If not, you should perhaps mail Prog directly.
Keep it precise, but in simple english...

Thanks Juergen,

This option is now present in the Options->Other menu in the used 5.09, I have already tried to 1000 value, this doesnt cure the retune problem, because ProgDVB seem locked in the tune function when active.

I use the very slow motor Stab HH120, while it move ProgDVB stop responding, and if the TP or channel doesnt send, I need to stop externaly ProgDVB with the taskmanager.

This problem exists since the version 4.8x.
