It turned out that the S421 isn't supported in the 3.2 kernel, but after 
compiling the Liplianin drivers and installing to 3.2, it all came good.

Thanks for the script. Here's the result of running it:

dvbtune -f 1706000 -s 22500 -p h -c 0 -tone 0 -m
frontend: 12FRONTEND DEVICE: : Device or resource busy

I actually have two S421 cards; adaptor 1 gave the same results.

See dmesg output as above.

In case it's relevant, I have as yet no input feed on the cards, but would 
expect a different error than that - something along the lines of "could not 
find a signal". But maybe I'm wrong...

Cheers,
Austin.
