[mythtvnz] Help with Skystar 2 PCI card

Hi guys,

I'm trying to get my Skystar 2 PCI card going, and have about as much
success as I did with the USB device. I'm running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn
(64 bit), and have a Sky dish that was installed three months ago. I
have the satellite cable plugged straight into the pci card (i.e. no
splitter yet)

This is the output from dvbtune:

simon@mythbox:~$ dvbtune -f 1733000 -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
ERROR setting tone

FE_STATUS:

FE_STATUS: FE_HAS_SIGNAL FE_HAS_CARRIER

I get the same error when I use the frequency of 1183000. Does anyone
have any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

TIA
