[mythtvnz] New install probs - old skystar2

[Criggie]

Hi all - I'm trying to help a coworker to get into myth, and its not going
well.


The box is a core2duo with 2 GB ram, running 64 bit Fedora 17 fully updated.
Kernel is   3.4.4-3.fc17.x86_64

There's one DVB-S card, a plain old Skystar2 on the PCI bus.

04:01.0 Network controller: Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 FlexCopII DVB
chip / Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 02)

Now the /dev directory is missing some devices compared to my own skystar2

Using something like this:
	dvbtune -f 1183000 -s 22500 -p h -m &   ; scandvb -c -U
	dvbstream -f 1183 -s 22500 -p h -o 512 650 | mplayer -
we can see the video stream.

This is what mythtvsetup shows when setting up the card.

Any suggestions as to the fault or the fix ?
