Seems default is some RF loopthrough. I'll need to measure too against loopthrough conditions, but for sure voltage is only on the upper connector and previously with the RF feed from the external receiver the lower connector was fine enough. No voltage in any previous testing and the 12Volts were always connected. Both slightly different Quads from different fabs work as well as the CTX948. In my case it is the 16be:0007 and to the 16be:0008 I have no access. > > Even more fun :) > > > > Cheers, > > Hermann > > > >> 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. > >> > Hm, i didn't have any compile problems ...

On the CTX948 there is no problem _at all_! For the Quad I took my first idea back and said, just let it be auto detected and take the first frontend then and the upper LNB connector.
