is it possible to disable this feature , because sometimes it's useless. For example, if I with rotor-plugin will try to move manually the dish to east or west , this patch automatically will come back the dish to reference rotational position, because LOCK was disappeared.

This patch was already integrated into VDR 1.3.x with some small modifications, so VDR 1.4.0 works like that: when "optimized" tuning to a channel doesn't get a lock within 9 seconds, a "non optimized" tuning operation is repeated every 9 seconds until a lock succeeds.
"optimized tuning" means: when you switch from one channel to another channel on the same polarization, there is no need to send the DiSEqC commands. Only the tuner needs to tune to a different frequency.
So "non optimized tuning" means, that the DiSEqC commands are sent although there is no need to. This fixed tuning issues where the DiSEqC message got distorted on the way to the multiswitch/LNB with the result that VDR never successfully tuned in such a case.
