The second RF connector is only RF loop through. The card has support as card=169 with recent code. On saa7134 only the Creatix CTX944 (Medion Quad, card=96 www.creatix.de) has beside two DVB-T/analog hybrid tuners also two DVB-S tuners. S2 is not supported and one of the DVB-S tuners has only support for transponders with 18 Volt currently. This was a problem on prior Philips windows drivers too, but is now fixed there. Maybe we can fix it once too. The second part of the twin LNB supply is not connected to i2c. The voltage must be switched by some gpio pin. Main problems, the card is Medion OEM only, on ebay and similar between 20 - 70€, and one needs a MSI/Medion motherboard with blue or green multi bus master capable PCI slot.
