Is not the Stength the signal between the CARD and the LNB? Why would it drop so drastically between driver releases.
Is there any way to track what changes to the driver where made to make the card imoperative?
No its to much of a pattern.it WILL lock in 2.6.18 but NOT in 2.6.22 or 2.6.24 or HG Drivers.
Problem is i can no longer ESTABLISH a lock at all. It simply stays at status 01!I know ther ewere some Voltage problems with the cards, but it will not lock H or V at all. Any way to what is going on?!?!!?

Tried it with 1 lnb. Got Good Signal, Good Locks and channels Scanned.The kernel that comes with Fedora Core 6 is 2.6.18-1.2798Apperntly there are problems with diseqc, so i decided before moving to a deseqc i shouls try upgradeing the kernel.I tried pulling linux tv hg but it would not compile under that kernel.I updated to kernel 2.6.20-1.2948 from the repositories. I noticed after this kernel was loaded that my card would no longer lock. I saw that the Signal had fallen, previously grater then ff00 now at 6800 and less.I also noticed the quality was irratic.When downgrading to 2.6.18 i found the card would once again lock.Fianlly i tried upgrading and pulling the latest HG drivers, but found myself in the same position. Can some one please shine some light on this.DMESG:Linux video capture interface: v2.00
