In the MSK 33, two different DiSEqC types have integrated. DiSEqC 1.0: With this system, DiSEqC commands can be sent but not
received. DiSEqC 2.0: With this system, DiSEqC commands can be sent and received (highlighted in grey in the table). Bold com-
mands are preferably used for Kathrein switching matrices.
