To test the card, you might like to modify the following lines in the
InitFront() function of DVB/driver/dvb.c :

                         // Astra n-tv default
                         ChangePIDs(dvb, 0x00a2, 0x0060, 0x0037, 0,
0x00a2);
                         secSetTone(dvb, SEC_TONE_ON);
                         secSetVoltage(dvb, SEC_VOLTAGE_13);
                         para.Frequency=12669500-10600000;
                         para.u.qpsk.SymbolRate=22000000;


And change the values appropriate for a channel (preferably FTA) on the
transponder you are interested in. For starters, in the secSetTone line
you would have SEC_TONE_OFF, and in para.Frequency you would have
10750000, rather than 10600000.

Once those values have been modified, you should hopefully get the
corresponding channel on your screen when the DVB driver is started up.

Cheers,
Doug.
