I also asked for help in just some pointers where to look for the error in http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2005-February/000171.html bot I only got a suggestion from Darren Salt in this other thread Tony initiated. what do you think I could try? disable udev and go back to devfs? Downgrade the kernel? Use DVB-CVS drivers? the funny thing is that dvbscan is properly scanning for services at any of the 4 LNBs I have after the 4/1 DiseqC switch, and even dvbtune reports something like this, how does it look like? Any other clues? htpc root # dvbtune -f 11431000 -p H -s 13350 -v 410 -a 411 -D 0 Using DVB card "ST STV0299 DVB-S" tuning DVB-S to L-Band:8, Pol:H Srate=13350000, 22kHz=off polling....
