Re: Fwd: Problem with Twinhan 102g not being recognized

After looking at the code in the dst module, I believe that the
"Unsupported" messages are a red herring.  The code simply emits these
messages when trying to figure out what sort of tuner is on the card. 
It apparently does figure it out, which is what the "[DST-03T] has a
[MB 86A15]" message is indicating.

I had thought I was having problems with the driver because I am unable
to get any channels from a stream which I know is easy to tune in under
Windows (AMC3 87W, F=12180000000, Pol=V, SR=30000000, FEC=Auto,
Inversion=Auto). I've tried several other streams on the same bird, but
with the same results.

I will post the problem I'm seeing on a new thread.  Consider this one
closed for now.

Thanks for your help.
