Hi folks,<br><br>Having proved the viability of mythtv it was time to replace my borrowed SkyStar-2 with my own DVB-S card.<br><br>I purchased a Technotrend S-1401 from the good people at <a href="http://nicegear.co.nz">nicegear.co.nz</a><br>
<br>It arrived, and I promptly removed the working Skystar 2 and put the S-1401 in its place, same cabling LNB etc.<br><br>The Technotrend is being detected:<br><br>$ lspci -vvv<br><SNIP><br>02:06.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01)<br>
