Comment:

 I asked Yeasah about this and here's what he said:

 Well, it rotates the dish for me -- not sure what's going on there.

 The scanner doesn't know about the dish rotating status though, and since
 you run the scanner from mythtv-setup, it's generally the first tuning
 request made, which means it assumes the worst in terms of previous rotor
 position, and it won't allow tuning until that is complete (on the order
 of a minute) -- so the first time you do a scan with a rotor it generally
 fails (or at least takes a very long time to start).

 It would be better if the scanner saw that the dish was rotating, didn't
 time out when this was happening, and put up a bargraph that showed how
 long until the rotation was complete. It doesn't seem like it should be
 hard to add that to the scanner; it's already got the bargraph display, it
 just needs to know to put up a "dish rotating" message onto it, and update
 it as the rotation completes.
