34.. warning::
35   This is a very obscure legacy command, used only at stv0299

38It provides a non-standard method for selecting Diseqc voltage on the
39frontend, for Dish Network legacy switches.

41As support for this ioctl were added in 2004, this means that such
42dishes were already legacy in 2004.
