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

[Stuart Whelan]

Hi folks,

Having proved the viability of mythtv it was time to replace my borrowed
SkyStar-2 with my own DVB-S card.

I purchased a Technotrend S-1401 from the good people at nicegear.co.nz

It arrived, and I promptly removed the working Skystar 2 and put the S-1401
in its place, same cabling LNB etc.

The Technotrend is being detected:

$ lspci -vvv

flexcop is loading

$ dmesg |grep -i flex

But I cant see anything on the dvbtune:

$ sudo dvbtune -f 1183000 -s 22500 -ph -m
Using DVB card "Philips TDA10086 DVB-S"

Mythtv backend is not running...

Here is my kernel.
$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu2 2.6.28-14-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Sat Jul 25 00:28:35 UTC 2009
i686 GNU/Linux

Does anyone have any suggestions on my next step?

Thanks,
Stuart.
