Re: Re: Cannot tune with KNC1 TV Station DVB-S Ver 2.0 card

Which tuner do you have ? I guess your board has a Philips SU1278-SH2
tuner, and I don't don't think that this tuner is supported so far. If the
tuner is supported, then it will only be a matter of adding the PCI IDs in
the source code (budget-av.c file).
