Technotrend 1500 S: can scan, but tuning is difficult

Description
I have a Technotrend 1500 DVB-S card connected to a TV Vlaanderen Triple Sat dish (basically a modified Multytenne with LNB 4 removed).
Doing a scan both on LNB 1 (Astra 1) and on LNB 3 (Astra 2) seems to find all the channels just fine. However, when watching the (FTA) LNB 1 channels, some work, but most don't get further than 'partial lock', although I can watch all of these channels without problems in Kaffeine. For LNB 3, I was even unable to find any channel that fully locks.
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5703 mentions something similar, although there it was suggested that setting the number of DiSEqC repeats to 0 solves this. I've tried values of 0, 1 and 5, but none work.
I've tried this both on a Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 system.

Turns out that if I create two separate video sources (as opposed to two different connection to the same source) it works ok.
Not sure if this is intended behaviour, but it certainly is confusing...

As the OP found, multiple video sources are required for the described configuration because some of the DiSEqC data is stored in the video source.
OK, it's definitely a DiSEqC problem. I've compared the output of Kaffeine and MythTV
For channel BVN on LNB 1 everything is OK, and Myth and Kaffeine agree:
Kaffeine: Tuning to: BVN / autocount: 0 Using DVB device 0:0 "ST STV0299 DVB-S" tuning DVB-S to 12574000 h 22000000 inv:2 fecH:5 DiSEqC: switch pos 0, 18V, hiband (index 3) DiSEqC: e0 10 38 f3 00 00

But for BBC1, Myth thinks it's located on LNB 1, whereas it should look on LNB 3:

It seems that after scanning, Myth forgets BBC 1 is located on LNB 3...
