Hi Neil,
Sorry, I can't help with the Compro, but maybe with the Technisat :)

Technisat Skystar S2
When I first installed this card I couldn't find the firmware
dvb-fe-cx24120-1.20.58.2.fw. Downloaded this from github and now there are
no errors in dmesg, but I cannot get the card to tune in MythTV. I wondered
if the <access denied> in the output of lspci is anything?

The above is for the Compro and not the Skystar, but <access denied> is
likely to just be that it needs root.

I tried to use dvbv5-scan with a simple channel file and get an error. Scan
does nothing
neil@Sonata-Linux:~/Documents$ dvbv5-scan --input-format=CHANNEL Astra-28.2E
ERROR Doesn't know how to handle delimiter '[CHANNEL]' while parsing line 2
of Astra-28.2E
[CHANNEL]
DELIVERY_SYSTEM = DVBS2
FREQUENCY = 11719500
POLARIZATION = HORIZONTAL
SYMBOL_RATE = 29500000
INNER_FEC = 3/4
MODULATION = QPSK
INVERSION = AUTO
A few problems here - that's dvbv5 format and not channel so best to
just skip the input-format, also 11719500 doesn't exist on 28.2E
anymore, you probably want to be running this as root, and you should be
specifying the lnb type.
This is how I ran it on mine quite recently whilst fixing a bug in the
driver (you might need to change the adapter number on -a):
# dvbv5-scan -a 0 -l EXTENDED /usr/share/dvbv5/dvb-s/Astra-28.2E
That bug was patched only a few weeks ago so the above will probably
fail on some of the transponders. MythTV wasn't affected though so that
should scan fine, aslong as all the other things with myth are setup ok
- it's quite fiddly!
