Hartmut,

great job, thank you very much!

Can't wait, result of a first voltage measurement on the md8800 Quad.

The upper LNB connector associated to the second saa7134 16be:0008
device has correct voltage.

Since my stuff is not in the original green PCI slot and I have only the
first 16be:0007 device active, can't test much more for now here.

People with the card in the original Medion PC could set
"options saa7134-dvb use_frontend=1 debug=1"
in /etc/modprobe.conf and then do "depmod -a".

The Syntek v4l usb stkwebcam still produces a compilation error and
needs to be disabled in "make xconfig" or something else.

After "make" it is best to do "make rmmod" on top of your
v4l-dvb-experimental first. Those new to the v4l-dvb development stuff
might do also "make rminstall" and then check that no *.ko is left
in /lib/modules/kernel_in_use/kernel/drivers/media/*
Especially the old video_buf.ko in the video dir needs to be removed.
Check with "ls -R |grep .ko" and then "make install".

Now I suggest to "modprobe saa7134 card=117,96"
In that case DVB-T is supported on the lower antenna connector and first
adapter and DVB-S on the upper LNB connector and second adapter.

Or to have it simple, it is safe to "make rmmod" and
"modprobe saa7134 card=5,96 tuner=54,54"
This way on the first device is only analog TV enabled, don't forget to
use it first to have good DVB-T reception later anyway, and the only
frontend is the DVB-S one in question for testing.

On the CTX948 voltage is OK
