You need to add the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf (I could have got
this wrong but it seems to have worked wonders for me, thanks so much
Patrick!)

options dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1

Good luck!

Thanks! Now I've got perfect signal on all muxes:)


Is the nova-t 500 now fully usable?

Is the card a completely replacement for two older pci cards? Ie, is it possible to get the full data from two transponders at the same time, not only data from two channels?
