A couple of days ago my skystar2 mythtv feed stopped. Until then I had it
operating perfectly. I'm using an old ihug dish and LNB connected to two
skystar2 cards via a splitter.
Now dvbtune gives me this.
[mythtv@server dvbtune-0.5]$ ./dvbtune -c 0 -f 1183000 -s
22500 -p h -m
Using DVB card "ST STV0299 DVB-S"
tuning DVB-S to L-Band:0, Pol:H Srate=22500000, 22kHz=off

[mythtv@server dvbtune-0.5]$
My sat signal gauge shows a signal, moving the disk slightly causes a drop
in signal strength (as I would hope).
I removed my splitter and directly connected to one card. This didn't make
any difference. I tried different stub cables from the wall to the
computer, no change.
Any suggestions?
