sorry, don't know yet what this should be. The XCeive tuners have 48
pins and the known ones are clearly marked.

The Philips/NXP tuner(s)=54 have good autodetection capabilities and are
also easily to identify, if visible.

Don't know how this is wired on your card. On the ISL6421 LNB control
chips the voltage can be set by some gpio switching or by i2c and most
likely by both too, if wired like that. (32pins square package)

The gpio switching can come from everywhere. Since you have already
voltage, I would call this good progress. Did you measure it?

Else, the current status of the older supported Geniatech DVB-S card is
not clear to me. On the HVR4000 is advanced DiSEqC progress now.

The early patches by Vadim Catana for the KWorld DVB-S 100 might be
helpfull too.

Cheers,
Hermann
