But an Asus Tiger 3in1 with lnpb21 and several other cards with isl6405, like Medion Quads, triple Creatix CTX948 and CTX929 DVB-S only. All this cards work for 13/18Volts and low/high band switching, means all broadcasts are available except DVB-S2 stuff. The dual LNB isl6405 is totally identical to the isl6421 concerning the programming of the first LNB and there have been reports for receiving over 2000 services on 13.0E with the Trio cardbus. That should indicate that at least all direct simple voltage and tone low/high switching should work as well. If possible, try to circumvent the switch once and connect directly to a dish. You should be able to receive low and high band stuff on 13 and 18 Volts. For mixed old and new modules loaded, try "make rmmod" twice and "make rminstall" on top of mercurial v4l-dvb. Check if any modules are left in your kernel version media modules folder or just delete/backup it completely. Run "make install" and "modprobe -v saa7134" assuming you have "use_frontend=1" already in your module options.
