Hi all,

I'm having some trouble getting my SkySat working.  I followed the  
directions on waikato's LUG and have managed to get a signal in dvbtune:

	dvbtune -f 1733000 -s 22500 -p h -m  -tone 0

scan -c -U also worked.

Where I ran into problems is in dvbstream, Unfortunately, that  
doesn't work, it returns:

I'm wondering if the problem is tone=off, but otherwise I'm stuck.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,
Corrin
