[mythtvnz] Trouble with Technotrend S-1401 DVB-S

[Warren Stuart]

I don't have the knowledge to help, but I have the same card that is
working fine. Here is my output from dmsg. I got signal with the same
dvbtune command. I noticed that the v4l2 driver was being loaded
during card initialisation on my computer but not yours, but doubt
this is the problem.

saa7146: register extension 'budget dvb'.
