Hi,

I have a Nexus-S rev 2.1 card with CI module. I am having troubles getting this
card to tune anything but 2 of the frequencies for my satellite service.
Sometimes only one of these frequencies will tune.

This card has worked perfectly in the past, and can still tune these channels
in windows using the Hauppauge software. The signal levels appear to be good
using the windows software. I'm not even sure what has changed as the linux
build is straight from the Mandrake 10.0 distribution. The service also
works fine when plugged directly into the decoder box.

Strangely moving the card to another machine causes similar problems for both
windows and linux.

I've tried with a fresh non kernel build of the 1.1.1 drivers but no luck.

Below is the output from the scan attempts. Does anyone have any ideas what
I can try troubleshooting next?
