I don't have the knowledge to help, but I have the same card that is<br>
working fine. Here is my output from dmsg. I got signal with the same<br>
dvbtune command. I noticed that the v4l2 driver was being loaded<br>
during card initialisation on my computer but not yours, but doubt<br>
this is the problem.<br></blockquote><br></div>
Thanks for the reply, it was good just to see all the info for another card and compare it.<br><br>For the others on the list:<br><br>Is it likely my problem is actually my LNB? That it worked just enough with my SkyStar2, but not my Technotrend?<br>
<br>Is there any way I could test this without buying another LNB?<br><br>If I buy another LNB, should I go for a 'strong dual 10.75 like at <a href="http://lincrad.co.nz/productorder.php?product_id=406" target="_blank">http://lincrad.co.nz/productorder.php?product_id=406</a><br>
<br>Any advice would be most apprecated.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Stuart.<br></div></div>
