Initially the card was not recognised at all by both kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 and kernel-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4. The modules wouldn't load automatically and loading the modules by hand didn't give dmesg messages that the card was recognised. I found out that my card has a different PCI id from the KNC1 DVB-S card on the linuxtv DVB Wiki. On the Wiki the subsystem id is 1131:4f56 whereas my DVB-S card has 1894:0010. lspci -nv shows:
00:09.0 Class 0480: 1131:7146 (rev 01)
Subsystem: 1894:0010
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
Memory at e4000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512]
The PCB of the card lists "MULTINORM DVB TUNER Ver 2.0". So my guess is from this and the different PCI subsystem id that this is a new release of this card.
I downloaded and installed the kernel source RPM for kernel-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4 and modified budget-av.c. Here's the diff output for the original and my edit:
[root@localhost ~]# diff budget-av.c.orig budget-av.c
1005c1005
< MAKE_EXTENSION_PCI(knc1s, 0x1131, 0x0010),
---
> MAKE_EXTENSION_PCI(knc1s, 0x1894, 0x0010),
After compiling and booting this kernel, the card was recognised and udev created the /dev/dvb entries. With this kernel dmesg output shows:
Linux video capture interface: v1.00

This seems fine to me as far as I can tell, however all tries of scanning for channels or tuning (using a channels.conf provided by a friend) fail. Could someone please help me diagnose the output? Googling didn't help unfortunately.
Here's what I see when trying to scan for channels:

At first glance it seems that the tuner doesn't get a signal. Or perhaps the frontend isn't initialised properly. I have used this same card in the same system with Windows XP SP2 and that works fine. So a hardware issue can be ruled out I guess.
I have tried to compile the CVS checkout of kernel-dvb with the FC4 src.rpm. This didn't work. Perhaps I should try to use a kernel.org kernel source, but I'd like to stick to the FC4 kernel as I don't know whether other things would break.
I hope I provided enough information. Just let me know if more is needed.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Jelte
