Recently I acquired a KNC1 DVB-S card to use it with MythTV running on Fedora Core 4.
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.

No answer to my previous question, but digging further back into the archives I found this post:
http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-March/001015.html
This seems related. There where other posts about KNC1 DVB-S cards, but the errors posted don't seem to match what I experience. My programming skills are too limited to really understand what to try next based on the advice given in the above post. So if someone could help me out, that would greatly be appreciated.
